Savers only opened its new store at Odsal House last month when shoppers were treated to an appearance by Britain’s Got Talent star Finley Barrett-Carter, who performed outside the store.
The extension is in the shop unit previously occupied by FarmFoods until December 2024 and is next to an existing Savers shop.
Flashback to Savers opening last month
The firm has been a staple of the British high street for more than 30 years, with over 500 stores in the UK.
In March, the company applied for permission to sell alcohol in the Acomb extension.
If granted, the store would be licensed for off-premises sales during its opening hours from 8am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and until 5pm on Sundays.
Its current opening hours are: Monday to Saturday from 8.30am till 5.30pm, and Sunday from 10am till 4pm.
