SHOPPERS queued to get a glimpse of a new store opening at a Southampton retail park.

The first 100 customers at the Wilko shop in the Westquay Retail Park yesterday received prizes including gift cards and home products.

Stuart Amey, fundraiser at Cancer Research UK, cut the ribbon with Wilko head of division Andy Rigby.

Wilko brand manager Adam Gray said: “We have been overwhelmed by the support of the local people.

"It’s a very positive start to our residence here at West Quay Retail Park and we can’t wait to welcome more customers to the new store.”
