A new jewellery store will become the latest addition to Workington's town centre.

Pandora will arrive later this year and the Workington branch would be the first in West Cumbria.

It is a franchise store and it is understood it will open in the unit next to Costa Coffee, which was last occupied by the Calendar Club over Christmas. 

The company has outlets in Windermere, Carlisle and Kendal and more than 300 shops in the UK sell Pandora products, including their own stores which are dedicated to the brand.

A company spokesman said that the firm was recruiting staff, but were unable to confirm how many jobs it would create or when the store would open.
