One Below, a new º£½ÇÊÓÆµ pound store from the original founders of Poundworld, will open its very first 'super store' in Wrexham this week - creating 20 local retail jobs.

The giant 14,000 square foot store located on Regent Street will open on Friday - with 8,000 products on sale in 10 departments.

Brand chiefs say the shop will be the biggest pound store in Wales.

The new brand is being independently financed and launched by father and son retail entrepreneurs, Christopher Edwards and Christopher Edwards Senior.

The successful businessmen were the original founders of former high street retailer, Poundworld Retail Limited before it was sold to American private equity conglomerate, TPG Capital in 2014.

Many of the former Poundworld staff who lost their jobs when the old Poundworld shop went into administration in 2018 have been given new employment at the brand new One Below store.

Christopher Edwards, managing director of One Below Retail Limited, said: “We’re excited to launch our first One Below super store in Wrexham with our biggest range yet. I think customers will be pleased with the number of incredible deals we are able to offer for under £1.

"We have a brilliant range but we’re particularly excited about our massive selection of Halloween and partyware – it’s ideal for anyone planning a party.
