The shop will open its doors at 8am on Saturday (August 1) and is expected to create more than 120 jobs. Store manager Martin Jones said: “It’s really exciting to be opening a new Home Bargains store in Gateshead on a hugely popular retail park. "Our new team are proud to serve Gateshead and bring our exciting offer to the area. "We’ve been able to recruit a fantastic team of new store colleagues and we can’t wait to make it happen here in the Team Valley.” The existing Gateshead store will remain open.
