B&M Launches Brand New Discount Store in Arleston, Telford
31 May 2025
This morning at 8am on Saturday 31st May, B&M store colleagues were gathered outside their brand-new discount store to officially open the doors and welcome in their first customers.
Located in Wrekin Retail Park, Arelston, Telford, the discount retailer now inhabits a former Homebase store, which provides a space of 20,968sqft. along with a mezzanine sales floor of 10,359sqft. after undergoing a comprehensive internal and external refurbishment programme.
The store also boasts its own 9,850sqft. garden centre, selling hundreds of plant varieties and gardening essentials for green fingered locals.
The launch of this new store has created 32 new jobs for local people, significantly boosting the local economy while providing the community with their favourite brands at the best possible price.
B&M’s store manager commented:
“We’re feeling really positive about the creation of more jobs for local people, and we hope customers are going to be delighted with their new store.”
Customers can expect to find a wide variety of branded groceries for the best possible price, including a range of food, drink, and pet food. There is also a fantastic selection of quality health & beauty products, homeware, electricals, DIY essentials, toys, games, gifts, and plenty more to explore.
For the grand opening of the new store, B&M colleagues were asked to nominate a local charity who they think truly deserves some VIP treatment for the work they do in the local community. They chose the team from Telford Crisis Support to take centre stage and officially unveil the new store with a ceremonial ribbon cut.
Telford Crisis Support is an independent, volunteer-led, holistic support charity centred around a core foodbank service. Over time, Telford Crisis Support has evolved to add and incorporate a range of additional support service to tackle the growing issue of poverty in the local community. They have developed to become a vital support provider to the community across the borough of Telford & Wrekin and the surrounding Shropshire border area.
The store manager of B&M was thrilled to give back to such a worthwhile cause, stating:
“Telford Crisis Support really stood out for us, so we wanted to give them some VIP treatment as a thank you for all the hard work that they have done. We hope that our donation can help them to continue the great work they do.”
