EXCITEMENT is mounting as Runcorn’s long-awaited new Range is about to open.

The World can now give you a sneak preview of the store which opens at 9am tomorrow.

The first 50 customers are guaranteed a prize.

Here’s a selection of pictures to show you what it looks like inside.

There’s a bewildering array of items for the home and garden and aisles are stacked full of Christmas decorations and festive gift ideas.

Everything from paint, candles, cookery items and wallpaper to luggage, toys, towels and gardening equipment are neatly laid out in 16 different departments.

Store assistants spoke to us as they put the finishing touches to the store.

Tammie Caldwell, 38, from Widnes, said: “It looks absolutely amazing.”

Marie Ives, 24, from Castlefields, added: “It’s brilliant. There’s a lot of excitement. People have been looking in the windows asking when we are opening.”

Matthew Dutton, 37, from Brookvale, said: “It has created a lot of jobs, just what Runcorn needs.”
