Discount retailer creates more jobs with latest store opening

Liverpool-based discount retailer Home Bargains has invested approximately £800,000 in its new store in Berryden, Aberdeen, which will be officially opened at 8am this Saturday, April 6.

The group, which is one of the UK’s largest family-run retailers, is creating up to 40 jobs in the community with its store at the Berryden Retail Park.

This will be the company’s fourth store in Aberdeen, joining more than 500 outlets across the UK.

Opening approximately 50 stores a year, Home Bargains is bucking current trends in the industry.

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

The 15,000 sq ft store, which is adjacent to Argos, Mothercare, Next and Currys, will offer shoppers a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

Joe Morris added: “Berryden Retail Park will be a great location for us.”

With more than four million customers each week, Home Bargains says it is one of the country’s best-loved discount retailers.
