However all of the Galloways' Wigan town centre branches will remain closed - for now.

And the shops have opened their doors with a number of social distancing measures in place.

Bays have been marked out in shops with a limited a number of customers allowed in at one time. Shoppers will also be asked to make contactless payments where possible and provide sanitiser stations.

The stores have reopened with a limited product range.

The next shops to open as part of the phased re-opening will include those in Market Place, Tunstall Lane, Pemberton and Smithy Green. No date has been given for when these stores will re-open.
