A company which claims to be the UK's fastest-growing discount retailer could be set to open its newest store in Kingsteignton, creating 55 jobs in the process.

Home Bargains has more than 200 stores throughout Britain and has agreed terms to take the lease on part of the former Richley's business at the newly-rebranded Kingsteignton Retail Park.

The business sells a range of goods such as home furnishings, electrical goods and garden equipment, but also wants planning permission to sell groceries from the Kingsteignton unit, which is still in the process of being refurbished by owner the Co-operative Group.
