A Home Bargains spokesperson said: “Spanning 26,000 sq ft, the new store will feature an in-store bakery, a café, and a garden centre.

“Customers can enjoy an extensive range of chilled and frozen products, alongside a wide selection of groceries and non-food items — all at our famous Top Brands Bottom Prices.”

The store will also bring welcome jobs to the city with the notice on the billboard advertising ‘We are now Recruiting’ and directing people to the jobs section on the company’s website.
