A PLANNING application has been approved as retailer The Range prepares to open an Iceland store within the shop.

Councillors granted permission for a number of Iceland signs to adorn the building on Barrow's Duke Street.

The Range revealed previously that it will be opening an Iceland within the store in August.

In addition to the essential items across DIY, hardware, petcare and cleaning products, the store will start selling the complete Iceland foods offering, including fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, meat and store cupboard staples.

Iceland will be officially open in The Range in Barrow from Friday August 14.

The launch in Barrow follows a partnership formed in August 2018 between each of the two companies, with more than 60 stores now containing an Iceland.
