HOME BARGAINS has invested about £800,000 in its new store in Bradford, which will officially open at 8am on Saturday.

The company, which is one of the UK’s largest family-run retailers, is creating up to 40 jobs at the store on Clayton Road.

This will be the company’s fourth store in Bradford, joining over 500 outlets across the UK. Opening about 50 stores a year, Home Bargains is bucking current trends in the industry.

Joe Morris, operations director at Home Bargains, said: “We’re thrilled to be launching our fourth store in Bradford and look forward to welcoming customers through the doors.”

The 15,000 sq ft store is adjacent to Aldi and has 400 free car parking spaces. It will offer shoppers a range of products, including homeware, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

Mr Morris added: “Clayton Road will be a great location for us and we’re proud to be able to offer local people top-branded goods at exceptionally low prices.”
