High street giant B&M is to begin closing some of its stores across the UK over the next few weeks. The retailer, which competes with the likes of Home Bargains, Aldi's middle aisle and Wilko, is a staple for many shoppers looking to buy home essentials and more novelty purchases.
But now B&M has announced that some of its stores will be closing for good over the next few weeks. But while other major chains have been forced to close shops due to the 'diminishing high street', this is not the case for B&M.
The chain says it is shutting shops to make way for newer stores - a rare uplifting boost for the UK high street in the current climate. The B&M store at Maesglas Retail Park in Newport, Wales will be closing its doors this Saturday (March 4).
