New Home Bargains store now open in Ashington

In total, the store will employ 60 team members, including some staff and management who will be transferring from local stores.

The 17,674sq ft store – which opened on April 23 – offers shoppers a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks, plus fresh and frozen food.

It will also be donating £2,000 to a local charity, Heart of the Hirst, a community hub of volunteers aiming to improve the town’s infrastructure.

Glenn Raynor, the new Ashington store manager, said: “The team have been working hard to ensure that everything is ready for opening day — we would love to make this store the best in the business.

“Ashington 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.”
