REDDITCH may be getting a Matalan store.
The news emerged at a town centre neighbourhood group meeting during which an update on the development of a new B&Q superstore was given.
B&Q is developing a Warehouse in Smallwood with its current store, on the same area of land, due to close in September.
And rumours suggest Matalan could move into the original building.
A company spokesman has since confirmed Matalan is looking to move into Redditch, although no firm decision on exactly where has been made.
At the meeting Redditch mayor Steve Wheeler said how impressed he had been with the work on the multi-million pound B&Q superstore which will open on September 26, creating 150 jobs.
