A bargain-hunter’s paradise stocked with everything from clothing and decorating equipment to food and booze, what’s not to love about B&M. And this week the chain originally named Billington & Mayman (after its two founders) has announced big expansion plans in the UK – meaning more Brits will soon get easy access to its eclectic bargains.
B&M currently boasts nearly 800 UK stores and last year the chain opened 45 new outlets (including many in old Wilko stores). The brand has revealed plans to open a further 45 shops in Britain in 2025 – and it’s already revealed where 11 of those will be.
The bargain retailer has a long-term plan to boost its UK footprint to 1,200 stores. Here are all the new B&M locations confirmed so far.
