B&M to open eight new stores by end of May – is one coming near you?

B&M is opening eight new stores by the end of May - and they are spread right across the UK making easier for shoppers to bag a bargain.

The discount retailer is expanding its locations from Cardiff all the way to Portadown, and several locations in between.

The expansion gives bargain hunters plenty more opportunities to seek out a good deal at a local B&M store.

B&M doesn't allow shoppers to order online, so heading to a physical store is the only way they can usually cash-in on a bargain.

The eight new locations will bring B&M's total store count to over 700.

The retailer is opening five of those store this month alone.

The first to come is a new store based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.

The store opens on March 23, and will stock homeware from retailer, as well as alcohol and food products.

On March 24, B&M is opening a store in Syston, and that will be closely followed by three more stores opening on March 26, in Pitsea, Colchester, and Ramsey.

The Pitsea and Colchester stores are set to feature products from B&M's garden range too, as they'll also include an outside area dedicated to the garden centre section of the brand.

In April, B&M will open two stores including one found at Nottingham Castle Marina retail park, and one in Portadown - they'll open on April 13 and 15, respectively.

The final store planned to launch this year opens in Cardiff on May 14, so Welsh bargain hunters don't need to miss out either.

We don't know yet if B&M is planning on opening any more stores later on in the year, but we've asked the retailer and will update this story once we know more.

But along with its more than 700 main stores in the UK, it also owns 315 Heron Foods as well as B&M Express branches.
