Those staff were invited to nominate a local charity that deserves recognition for its work in the community.
They chose Holbeck Elderly Aid, which works to keep older people socially and physically active so they can make more informed choices and live longer.
Representatives from the charity will officially open the store and receive at £250 B&M voucher in support of its work.
