A new store has opened its doors in Bargoed bringing even more good news to the town centre. The Original Factory Shop has launched its new outlet in the former Woolworths building following an extensive re-fit of the store.
Cllr Ron Davies, CCCB cabinet member for regeneration welcomed the news, “Bargoed town centre is experiencing a major transformation thanks to the range of regeneration projects underway at the moment. The decision by the Original Factory Shop to invest in the town is fantastic news and demonstrates a new found confidence in Bargoed.”
“The building enjoys a key location within the town centre and will also benefit from the new bus station development and the new pedestrian link being created in close proximity to the site. I’m sure traders and residents will join us in welcoming this new addition to the town centre,” added Cllr Davies.
Marketing Director Colin Leggatt said: “The Original Factory Shop is very pleased to open up at the old Woolworths site in Bargoed. We’ll bring unbeatable value and choice to the high street and will play an active role in the local community.”
The premises, which boasts the largest retail floor space in the town, was purchased by the council using Heads of the Valleys funding from the Welsh Assembly Government.
The Original Factory Shop’s sales strategy is a mix of well-known high street brands at heavily discounted prices, together with an extensive range of clothing made for big name fashion retailers but sold for a fraction of the price, and own-brand products. Bargoed shoppers can expect to see household name brands such as Adidas, Trespass, Regatta, Vax, Silentnight, L’Oreal, Elizabeth Arden and Rimmel – all at knockdown prices.
