B&M shoppers are just learning what name stands for - and even store boss 'didn't know'

B&M is one of the largest value stores in the UK, with thousands of branches scattered across the country. Their large Warehouse walls are stacked with an enormous selection of home items, foods, DIY tools and much more - all at discounted prices.

But have you ever wondered what the retailer's initials actually stand for? There are 77 B&M locations in Scotland alone and the household name has been ingrained into peoples' memories.

This means we don't really give them a second thought, but there's an interesting story surrounding the chain's name and its meaning. Some big brand names like to go with titles that are completely unique, while others like to incorporate some business history into their monikers - and B&M falls into the latter group, the Mirror reports.
