Home Bargains has invested approximately £1 million into its new store at Queen’s Shopping Park that will open this Saturday (18 March).
As one of the UK’s largest family-run retailers, Home Bargains is creating 51 new jobs in the local community with the store. In total, it will employ 54 team members, including some staff and management, who will be transferring from local stores.
It will also be donating £2,000 to a local charity, Rosemere Cancer Foundation, which works to bring world-class cancer treatments and services to cancer patients throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.
Daniel Hill, Head of Rosemere Cancer Foundation, said: “We are very grateful to Home Bargains for their fantastic donation. Their gift will directly benefit local cancer patients in the community. We were thrilled to hear that the new staff team at the store voted to support Rosemere at their grand opening and look forward to hopefully building our relationship with them moving forwards.”
