Middleton Shopping Centre’s former Poundstretcher unit is about to get a new tenant. B&M will open its doors at 9am on Saturday 28th November, creating 50 new jobs for local people.
The 14,262sqft store is undergoing a full internal and external refurbishment before opening day. B&M says it has aimed for a bright, modern layout with clear product displays that are easy to navigate. Shoppers will find self-checkout tills, plus a brand-new frozen food department that adds to the chain’s grocery range.
On the shelves, expect branded food, drink and pet food, alongside health and beauty products, homeware, electricals, DIY essentials, toys, games and gifts.
Middleton B&M opening day: prizes, music and a charity cutting the ribbon
On opening day, the first 30 customers through the doors can take part in a lucky dip to win £5 and £10 B&M gift cards. A Spin to Win game will run from 9am to 5pm, with goodies from Haribo Goldbears, Swizzels, Mattel, Mars, Applied Nutrition and other brands up for grabs. A live DJ will play throughout the day.
B&M asked its colleagues to nominate a local charity that deserves some recognition, and they chose the team at Light House Project. The team will officially unveil the new store and will receive a £250 B&M gift card in thanks for their work.
The Lighthouse Project is a community hub offering a safe, welcoming space where local people can get help and support, meet others and join social, caring and educational activities. Its aim is to help people achieve their goals and feel connected to their community.
The store manager said the charity “really stood out” for the team, adding: “We hope that our donation can help them to continue the great work they do.”
B&M operates more than 760 stores across the UK, and the Middleton opening adds one more to that network.
