Discount retailer Home Bargains has begun the countdown to the opening of its new £10 million Arbroath retail park outlet this weekend.

The new store will open its doors at 8am on Saturday (25 October) as the anchor of the £16 million Dundee Road retail park.

It will bring 50 jobs to the town, 35 of which are new hires for the 21,356sq ft store.

Store manager Paul Beatham said: “Opening this new store is a proud moment for our team.

“We’re passionate about what we do and can’t wait to share that with our customers in Arbroath.

“This launch represents our continued commitment to growth and to delivering the best possible shopping experience.”

The company says the new “Arbroath 2” store will complement its existing town outlet in the Abbeygate Shopping Centre.

The new store will offer shoppers a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks, and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

It will also be home to a Home Bargains bakery and garden centre.

Supermarket Aldi, builder’s merchant MKM, Costa and Greggs are also coming to the new retail park.

Full details of their opening plans are expected soon.
