SHOPPERS are set to deck their homes out with the Next big thing in home design as a national retailer opens its store today.

The Next Home store, at Mannington Retail Park, will open at 10am with the retailer expecting people to be queuing to get in.

The store covers more than 13,000sq ft and will offer a wide range of Next Home products.

The store has created 45 new jobs and will be hoping to emulate the success of its neighbour John Lewis, which has been on the retail site for more than two years.

The John Lewis store has proved a huge success with record numbers and employees receiving bonuses equivalent to seven weeks wages as a result.

To celebrate the opening of the store, Next are giving the first 100 customers a chance to win a £50 Next gift card in the infamous golden ticket competition.

Just be one of the first 100 customers to walk through the doors on the opening day and you could win the prize.

The store opens seven days a week, 9.30am to 9pm Monday to Friday, 9am to 7pm on Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday.
