New B&M Store opening in Derby!!!
Options
Hi all,
For all you East Midlanders who find it a bit of a bind to drive to Ilkeston, there is soon to be a new B&M opening on Ascot Drive in Derby, where Glyn Webb used to be :j
For those who don't know, B&M is a discount food and housewares store, similar to Home Bargains (but not as good IMO!)
It is reported to be opening late next month and will be re-employing any former Glyn Webb staff who got laid off following the store being burned to a crisp 3 years ago! I used to work there 10 years ago (and met my OH there too
) so it's nice to see the old place reopening again.
HTH anyone who is local to the area!

P.S The 'bind to Ilkeston' bit wasn't a dig BTW - nice l'il market town with super cheap parking, :beer: but to drive 13 miles from my home to get to a bargain shop somewhat defeats the object!!!0
-
Ilkeston wasn't the only store in the East Mids, there has been one in Hucknall for a few years now! xGone ... or have I?0
-
Oh yes, so I see! Never knew that! Mind you I think that's even further from me than 'Ilson' (as the locals call it!)
On the plus side - the news report also says that it will be a B&M Homestore - which will sort of be a poor persons 'Next Home' I suppose!
Suits me fine! Can't afford the lovely stuff at Next at the mo! :rolleyes:0 -
Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

b & m is glynn webb rebranded. you cant beat homebargains imo0

Oooohhh! A new B & M will be fab - will put it on my little circuit for bargain hunting (includes Paks and Home Bargains) which I do every couple of weeks! I'm also hoping the new Primark in Derby town centre will open in time for summer clothes shopping, but haven't heard when yet.0
-
Just to say that BM opened in Derby on Saturday - went in today and it's quite good, but a bit manic!0

LOL I found this thread while googling for Home Bargains address...Why the hell have they opened it on Ascot drive?? That is 2 bus journeys for me. Why not in town?????
I am hoping that HB might move to town now that there are a few empty slots, I miss it so much since I moved from Normanton~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't ever stop believing........
Never get tired of watching you, someday you will break through.....0 -
there's now one in Bulwell, Nottingham which used to be the Woolies there. I went yesterday and it seemed reasonably busy. We found the food quite cheap and bought a couple of cans and some cheap Ben Shaw pop (29p in small bottles) that were nice. Plants for the garden ranged from £1.49 to £2.39 were healthy too.:T0
