B&M, the popular discount retailer, is set to temporarily close its Team Valley store in Gateshead this weekend. However, the closure is not permanent, as the store is expected to reopen on October 28th. In a statement on its website, B&M apologized for any inconvenience caused and promised shoppers a "bigger and better" store. The retailer is reportedly expanding into the former Poundland store next door, allowing for a larger sales area and the addition of a garden center.
Excitement Builds as Shoppers Anticipate the New Store
Shoppers are eagerly anticipating the reopening of the B&M store in Gateshead. Many took to Facebook to express their excitement, with comments such as "It's going to be huge!" and "Ohhhhh this will be amazing." The closure of the neighboring Poundland store earlier this year has made way for B&M to expand and provide customers with a more spacious shopping experience.
B&M's Expansion Plans and Recent Relocations
B&M has been actively expanding its presence, with plans to open new stores and relocate existing ones to larger premises. The retailer has already completed several relocations and refurbishments, with recent openings in Reading, Stockton, Irvine, and Glasgow. The Gateshead store is just one of many locations that B&M has targeted for improvement and expansion.
Bright Future for B&M and Poundland
Despite the closure of some of its stores earlier this year, Poundland has been actively opening and relocating stores, with plans to end the year with more locations than it started with. Poundland recently acquired a number of former Wilko locations and has already begun reopening them as Poundland stores. With both B&M and Poundland expanding and revamping their presence on the high street, shoppers can look forward to more options and a better shopping experience.
Other Discount Retailers Join the Expansion Trend
Besides B&M and Poundland, other discount retailers are also looking to expand their presence on the high street. TK Maxx is reportedly seeking new locations as part of its expansion plans, while Poundstretcher has announced its intention to open 50 new shops before the end of the year. With these retailers shaking things up, shoppers can expect more bargains and a wider variety of options.
