Boyes has officially opened its new store in Longton today (Friday, September 11), bringing a new department store to the former Wilko site.

The family-run retailer opened its doors at 9am, with the store offering a wide range of products including homewares, DIY, electrical goods, clothing and everyday essentials.

The former Wilko store closed in September 2023, leaving the site vacant until Boyes announced its plans to move in.
