Hundreds of shoppers queued for the opening of Keighley’s new TK Maxx store.

The doors of the outlet, at Keighley Retail Park in Hard Ings Road, were opened to the public yesterday.

The first 500 customers each received a £10 gift card.

The opening of the fashion and homeware store, which boasts over 14,954 sq ft of floor space, has created 50 jobs.

Store manager Chris Hodsman said: “After months of waiting, we are thrilled to be opening our new Keighley outlet.

“We've had a fantastic warm welcome from local shoppers, who’ve been enjoying big savings on all their favourite brands of homeware and fashion.

“We look forward to welcoming Keighley's savvy shoppers and hope they love our brand new store.”

TK Maxx launched in the UK in 1994 and now has some 260 outlets.
