A WHOLESALE food shop opened its doors for the first time in Leigh yesterday, Tuesday.
The Food Warehouse welcomed customers at Parsonage Retail Park with more than £750,000 invested in the store.
Shoppers do not need to be members of the shop, which has created 30 jobs.
Every customer who visited the store was entered into a free prize draw to be in with a chance of winning a selection of prizes, including home appliances.
The Food Warehouse operations director Kristian Barrett said: “We’re delighted to have opened our new store in Leigh.
"The Food Warehouse is an innovative store format, responding to the changing needs of shoppers by offering amazing bulk-buy deals and homeware offers alongside a fantastic range of frozen, fresh and chilled foods.”
