New B&M Store for Barnsley Creates More Than 40 Jobs

In a welcome boost to the local economy, B&M are thrilled to announce today’s launch of its brand-new store and Garden Centre in Cortonwood Shopping Centre, Barnsley.

With 17,907sqft. of new retail space, the brand-new build will create more than 40 jobs for local people, and boasts its own 8,162sqft garden centre, selling hundreds of plant varieties and gardening essentials.

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 will also be a fantastic selection of quality health and beauty products, homeware, electricals, DIY essentials, toys, games, gifts and plenty more to explore.

To celebrate its opening, colleagues at the new store were asked to nominate a local charity they think truly deserves some VIP treatment for the work they do for the local community.

They chose the team from Barnsley Foodbank to take centre stage and officially unveil the new B&M store.

Barnsley Food Bank aim to combat poverty and hunger in the community, by supporting local people who are in crisis, providing three days’ worth of nutritionally balanced emergency food to those in need.

They have a dedicated team of volunteers who put together food parcels, using a person-centred approach by catering to individual needs to ensure that their support has maximum impact.

The store manager from B&M said: “We’re feeling extremely positive about the creation of more jobs for local people, and we hope customers are going to be delighted with their new store.”

The store manager also commented: “Barnsley Food Bank 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.”
