Balloons and sweeties were handed out to shoppers to celebrate the opening of the Original Factory Shop in St Leonards Road.
The branch has 14 employees and merchandising manager Scott Meadows-White commented that he felt "optimistic' about the future.
Assistant manager Tracy Fox said: "The shop sells absolutely everything...it's been a bit quiet this morning but hopefully it is going to pick up and we are going to be busy."
