Huge new B&M Bargains opens in Colton Retail Park Leeds, creating 70 jobs

The new store opened at 9am on Saturday, March 13 and sells 'a wide variety of branded groceries' including a range of food, drink, baby food and pet food. There is also a selection of quality health and beauty products, homeware, electricals, DIY essentials, toys, games, gifts and plenty more to explore.

The new colleagues were asked to nominate a local charity they think truly deserves some VIP treatment for the work they do for the local community. They chose the team from Leeds South & East Foodbank who took centre stage to officially unveil the new B&M store.

Leeds South & East Foodbank are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by the Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. The charity provides three-day nutritionally balanced emergency food and support for individuals and families in Leeds.

In addition to opening the store, the team also received £250 worth of B&M vouchers which will go towards helping the charity to continue doing the great work they do.

The store manager, Nettie Crossley, said: “It was really exciting to welcome customers through the doors at the weekend, the feedback so far has been fantastic.”

“A big thank you to the team at Leeds South & East Foodbank who helped us open the store, we hope that our donation can help them to continue to do the great work they do in supporting the local people.”
