On its opening day, the store let community group Horsham Matters, which provides food banks, do a "trolley dash" to pick up "much needed items" for people across the town.

A spokesman for Horsham Matters said: "We are feeling the love today!

"Thank you to Poundstretcher Horsham for giving the team the opportunity to do a Trolley Dash to pick up some much needed items, like men's toiletries and detergent.

"We are so grateful for the generosity of our local businesses."

The store will be open seven days a week.
