A DISCOUNT retailer selling brand name clothes and homewares is to move into Wokingham town centre.

The Original Factory Store will take over the former M&Co unit, with the aim of opening by the end of June.

Launched in Keighley in 1969, the company says it sources ‘must-buy quality ranges’ that appeal to bargain hunters.

This includes up to 70% off recommended retail prices in fashion, beauty and homeware, with more than 150 new products arriving in store every week.

A spokesperson for the company said customers will be able to purchase big brands with big savings, including the likes of Christian Lacroix, Adidas, Russel Hobbs, Clinique and Olay.

In recent years, The Original Factory Shop has been expanding, and last year opened 11 new outlets.

Now it is preparing to open in Wokingham town.

The company is recruiting for a number of roles including manager, deputy manager, and supervisor, as well as four-, eight-, 12- and 16-hour roles.

Benefits include a staff discount, bonus scheme, and a recognition scheme.

Wokingham Borough Council has received a planning application to install non-illuminated signage on the front of the building.

This will be, according to the application, “in keeping with the character of the buildings in the area”.

The application can be seen on the council’s planning website, searching for application 231234.
