One Beyond, a discount retailer, opened in Mansfield on Friday, 4th November, creating 30 jobs.

It will be based in part of the former Beales department store in the Four Seasons Shopping Centre.

Created by father and son duo Christopher Edwards and Christopher Edwards jnr, original founders of Poundworld Retail,  One Beyond – which has more than 80 stores – offers more than 4,000 ‘quality’ products for £1, ‘plus some incredible finds that go beyond £1’.

Christopher Edwards jnr said: “Our aim is to provide shoppers with exceptional value on a great choice of handpicked bargains.

“Now, more than ever, when times are financially tighter for so many families, we are proud to be offering incredible savings on hundreds of branded shopping essentials and on-trend items.

“It’s fantastic to be able to occupy this convenient location in the town, offering amazing value to Mansfield shoppers. We’re delighted to be able to create new retail jobs in the area.”

A store spokesman added: “The store is known for its affordable prices on a huge range of items including beauty and personal care, cleaning, toys and tech accessories, home, pet supplies. As Christmas is approaching, One Beyond will be on hand to help shoppers get ready ahead of time for the festive season, with trend-led decorations, homeware, wrapping paper, accessories, gift ideas, stocking fillers and cards – that would all be much more expensive elsewhere.”
