40 jobs created at new Burnley store

Home Bargains will open the doors to its new store at Burnley Retail Park this Saturday following an £800,000 investment.

The store is one of the UK’s largest family-run retailers with 500 outlets across the UK.

The 15,500 sq ft store, adjacent to TK Maxx, will offer shoppers a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

It becomes the company's third store in the town, and will create up to 40 new jobs for locals.

Joe Morris, operations director at Home Bargains, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching our third store in Burnley and look forward to welcoming customers through the doors.”

"Burnley Retail Park will be a great location for us and we’re proud to be able to offer local people top-branded goods at exceptionally low prices.”
