THE OPENING of a B and M store outside the town centre has created 50 jobs.
The store is due to open at 9am on April 25 on the old PC World site at the bottom of Old Mill Lane.
Store manager Adam Pollock said: "We're really proud to be opening our second store in Barnsley, we have a team of colleagues who are willing to provide great value products and world class service to our customers."
The other B and M store is based at Barnsley Retail Park on Wombwell Lane, Stairfoot.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
