 One of the town 's largest employers is T & S Stores , a subsidiary of Tesco plc , whose depot in the town employs approximately 1 @,@ 000 people . Brownhills was also formerly home to the wirings manufacturer <unk> 's last UK @-@ based factory , but this has closed , with manufacturing shifted overseas and commercial staff moved to a new site in Cannock . In 2006 , the site was converted into a mixed @-@ use facility dubbed Toll Point , with Walsall Council among those moving to the site . Many people are also employed at the town 's large branch of Tesco which is open 24 hours a day on weekdays and is large enough to have its own petrol station . Before being taken over by Tesco , the store was a branch of <unk> , and an earlier Tesco store in the town had been forced to close as it could not compete with <unk> .
