B&M Relocates Antrim Store To Former Homebase Unit

B&M was delighted to open its brand-new Northern Ireland store on Saturday 16th August 2025.

Following feedback from regular shoppers who wanted a larger store with more products and bargains, B&M Antrim decided to relocate from Unit 3, Junction One International Outlet Centre, to the former Homebase store in the same retail park - just a stone’s throw away from its previous site.

After a comprehensive internal and external refurbishment, the new store now offers over 22,289 sqft. of sales space, plus an 8,851 sqft. mezzanine floor and a brand-new garden centre spanning 10,746 sqft. Customers can find a wide variety of plants and flowers at their new garden centre, as well as essential gardening tools and decorative items.

The store relocation has also created 12 new jobs for local people and will provide the community of Antrim with an even bigger selection of exciting and affordable products to shop in-store. The store manager at B&M Antrim commented on the relocation saying: “We wanted a bigger and better store for our customers, giving them even more big, branded products.”

Customers can now visit their new B&M Antrim store and shop our brilliant variety of products, all at the best possible prices, including our ranges of branded groceries such as food, drinks, and pet food. There is also a fantastic selection of homeware, DIY, electrical, and health and beauty products on offer. Alongside a variety of brilliant toys, games, gifts, and more, all available at your new B&M store!

To mark the special occasion, store colleagues were asked to nominate a local charity that they thought deserved recognition for the valuable work they do in the local community. The team nominated Antrim Foodbank to take centre stage and attend the official opening today, alongside the mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Leah Kirkpatrick.

Antrim Foodbank belongs to the Trussell Trust network, who work within local communities to end food poverty nationwide. Antrim Foodbank believes that no one should have to go hungry, and they have been providing emergency food supplies and support to people in the local town since 2016.

Their valuable work is powered by volunteers and by the kindness of the local community, and in the last year alone they have received 21 tonnes of donated food and have helped 2,832 people, including 1,223 children. B&M’s store manager commented saying: “Antrim Foodbank 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 that they do.”
