Scores of new jobs are being created with the opening of a superstore.
The Range has moved into the former MFI site in Pages Corner Retail Park, Worthing, which has been empty since last summer.
The chain's 42nd UK store will have 35,000 sq ft of retail space across two floors, selling more than 65,000 products in 16 departments, ranging from arts and crafts, furniture, textiles, garden, DIY and pet care.
A total of 150 jobs will be created when the store opens its doors on April 2, with positions including departmental managers, store managers to back office and warehouse staff.
The Range was founded by former market stall owner Chris Dawson.
