The Range to Open in Former Homebase Unit in Purley

The former Homebase store in Purley, Croydon is to re-open as The Range later this year.

Homebase closed on 21st September following the August announcement that 42 stores were to close, putting 1,500 jobs at risk. 

The Range will open on November 23rd at 9am and will feature a cafe and an outdoor garden centre.

Founder of The Range, Chris Dawson, said: “Opening a new store is always an exciting moment for the company and Croydon is no exception.

“The job provision that comes with the new store should be a great boost to the local area”.

Around 80 jobs will be created at the new store.
