B&M Opens in Former Waltham Cross Homebase Unit

At 8am on Friday 27th March 2026, B&M store colleagues gathered around outside their brand-new store in Waltham Cross, Hertfordshire, to welcome in their first customers.

To celebrate the grand opening, B&M store colleagues were joined by local charity, Broxbourne Foodbank, who marked the occasion with a ceremonial ribbon cutting, before the doors were officially opened to the public.

The launch of B&M Waltham Cross serves as a significant boost to the local economy, creating 60 new jobs for people in the community, and providing locals with a range of amazing discounts across a variety of departments.

B&M's store manager commented:

"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."

After undergoing a comprehensive internal and external development programme, the unit previously host to Homebase now provides a sales space of 19,229sqft. consisting of the famous B&M layout that everyone knows and loves. The ground floor space reaches 14,080sqft. combined with a mezzanine sales floor of 5,149sqft. means there is more amazing bargains for customers to shop.

Customers can expect to find a wide variety of branded groceries for the best possible price, including food & drinks, pet essentials, homeware, DIY, electricals, health & beauty, toys, games, gifts, and so much more to explore.

The store is also proud to host its own 8,592 sqft. garden centre, selling hundreds of plant varieties and gardening essentials for green fingered locals. B&M's garden centre also provides landscaping supplies and garden décor so customers have everything they need to create the outdoor space of their dreams without breaking the bank.

To mark the occasion, B&M store colleagues were asked to nominate a local charity they think deserves the spotlight for all the hard work they have done in the local community. They chose the team from Broxbourne Foodbank to take centre stage and officially unveil the new B&M Waltham Cross store.

Broxbourne Foodbank is a vital community service supporting local people facing crisis by ensuring no one has to go hungry. Through compassion, dignity, and practical help, the foodbank provides three days nutritionally balanced emergency food to individuals and families when they need it most.

As part of a nationwide network supported by The Trussel Trust, Broxbourne Foodbank work s alongside local partners to tackle poverty and hunger across the UK. With the help of community donations and volunteers, they offer not just food, but hope, reassurance, and a pathway to brighter days ahead.

B&M's store manager reflected on this choice of charity by stating that:

"Broxbourne Foodbank really stood out for us, so we wanted to give them some VIP treatment as a thank you for all the hard work they have done in the local community. We hope that our donation can help them continue the great work they do."
