As shoppers queued outside buinesses throughout the town, staff at Debenhams took some time out of their busy first day back to show us around the store.
Debenhams store manager Shelley Wilding, said: "We have introduced a number of measure to adhere to Government guidelines including two metre self-distancing signs and entry and exit to the store is one-way.
"We have also extended the spaces at the tills and any item that is returned to us goes into quarantine for 72 hours before it can be put back on the shelves.
"All of the concessions are guidance only and people are unable to test make-up and perfume but staff will be happy to help with guidance."
