B&M’s supermarket chain will officially debut at the former Peacocks site in south Bristol when it opens tomorrow (Thursday, August 25). Heron Foods will take over the East Street building that was once the Peacocks branch in Bedminster.
The Heron Foods branch will be the first in the city, but there is also a B&M Express store in Shirehampton that sells Heron Foods products.
The food retailer is known for selling frozen and chilled food products, promising competitive prices and will be situated just around the corner from Iceland and Farm Foods, which both specialise in affordable frozen food products.
