B&M 'excited' to open huge new Home Store at second location in Scarborough
A nationwide discount retailer is to open a second store in Scarborough, a few hundred yards away from its existing one.
B&M has told The Scarborough News that it will launch its new store in the former Carpet Right Benson for Beds retail space on Seamer Road, next to Currys.
The discount chain said the store will undergo a comprehensive internal and external refurbishment and create more than 26 new jobs for the Scarborough economy.
B&M said the new Home Store will sell a wide variety of homeware, DIY essentials and electrical products, with the town's other store offering additional product lines including groceries, food, drink and pet food as well as health and beauty products, toys, games, gifts and seasonal products.
A spokesperson for B&M said: "We're feeling extremely positive about the creation of more jobs for local people and we hope customers are going to be delighted with their new store.
"We are all really excited to get the doors open and welcome our new customers through the door in March."
The new Scarborough B&M Home Store is set to open its doors for the first time at 9am on Monday March 14.
The existing B&M Bargains store next to the Seamer Road Retail Park will remain open.
