Huge new Merseyside Home Bargains store with a garden centre opens this week

A huge new Home Bargains store set to open in Merseyside this week will also include its own garden centre.

The discount retailer is launching its newest store on the former Homebase site on Stephenson Way, just off the Formby Bypass.

Formerly a Homebase store, the two-acre site has now been remodelled with the Home Bargains grey panelling.

The new store will create 121 new jobs, with a further 13 roles filled by staff transferring from other local stores.

Shoppers will be able to browse and buy the latest Home Bargains ranges, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

The new store will also come with its own garden centre – GardenWorld at Home Bargains – which is said to sell an array of plants, soils and garden décor.

According to Home Bargains' website, the huge new superstore, near to Tesco and McDonald's, will open its doors for the first time on Saturday, June 26.

Opening times will be Monday-Saturday, 8am-9pm, and 10am-4pm on Sundays.

Originally established more than 40 years ago in Old Swan, Home Bargains is now one of the UK's fastest-growing retailers.

Graham Wallace, the new Formby store manager, said: “It’s a huge honour to be opening our new Formby store this weekend and something that I’m exceptionally proud of.

“I started my Home Bargains journey back in 2009 at our Kirkby store and have never looked back since. However, helping to launch the new Stephenson Way store will be a huge accomplishment for both myself and my fantastic team.”
