Vicky Green: "I'm glad there is another B & M at the old B&Q site as living in Leechmere it's a bit of a trek to get to the other two Sunderland B&M stores, hence I don't get to visit that frequently. This store is on my doorstep so I'm going to be in here all the time."
Christine Broad: "Have never been into a B&M but if it's creating new jobs and it means one less empty building then that's fab."
Michael Carr: "Doesn't matter what shop it is as long as it's creating jobs that's the main thing."
