Town bosses are delighted after three big new stores announced they would be opening their doors.

Tesco Express and Poundland have opened in Chapel Road and Montague Street, Worthing, respectively.

Now H&M will open in part of the old Woolworths store, Montague Street, on Thursday, October 29.

Crowds are expected to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony, which signalled an upturn in fortunes for Worthing's retail scene.

Town centre manager Sharon Clarke had a sneak preview of the new H&M and described it as “stunning”.
