South Leeds B&M Store in Hunslet Completes Refurbishment

The long-awaited grand reopening of B&M's store on City South Retail Park has arrived.

The original store closed on February 9th, and the former Homebase site has undergone a comprehensive internal and external makeover programme. Prior to the refurbishment, 45 colleagues worked in the store, but due to a much bigger space, an additional 10 locals have been hired.

Colleagues nominated Charlie's Angel Centre, to be given some VIP treatment, and as a thank you, were given £250 worth of vouchers.

The charity provides support for parents and families who have lost a child, helping families rebuild their lives. Their free services include online information, bereavement counselling, telephone and email support, providing free bereavement packs and working with statuary bodies to provide the best bereavement care. 

Alongside the charity, the Lord Mayor, Cllr Eileen Taylor, was also in attendance.

The store manager, Ashan Lodhi, said: "The team from Charlie’s Angel Bereavement really stood out for us as they go the extra mile for local people in the community, so we wanted to give them some VIP treatment as a thank you for all the hard work they do.

"We hope that our donation can help them to continue the great work they do."

He also commented: "Our new colleagues have been working really hard to get the store ready for opening day, and we can’t wait to show customers their brand new B&M."
