Mr. Rogaczewski, who has managed the store for six years, continued:
“This is unbelievable news. What a way for one of our customers to start their Christmas!
“There is huge speculation as to who the winner might be we are really hoping it is a local. As the town is now by-passed the chances are it is a local rather than someone passing through.
“This is great for the town and the store. We have between 50 and 60 staff and this is giving us the perfect buzz in the lead up to Christmas.”
