B&M Stores

B&M Bargains is the shop for people who find Poundland or TJ Hughes worryingly upmarket. The company probably wouldn't thank me for saying that, but it's largely true nevertheless. As it happens my local shop is in a former branch of Waitrose, which lends a slightly surreal feel to the place, especially since some of the original fixtures and fittings (the cash desks and conveyors, for example) are still in situ, and are considerably more upmarket than anything B&M themselves are likely to have installed! The company was founded in 1976, with its first store being in Blackpool. For some years thereafter it remained largely confined to the north west of ...  Read the complete review

B&M is a low cost store and took over the Glyn Webb brand. They have been around for over 30 years now and have stores all over the country. Most of their stores are open 7 days a week and their out of town stores have excellent opening hours, usually until around 7 or 8pm. I have to say the staff are very busy at all times but do try to help if you're looking for something in particular. In our local store the tills are always jammed but im not sure if this is the case across the country. Stores sell a range of products from homeware to wallpaper and food to toys. Stores are generally large and on just one level. I find the out of town stores ...  Read the complete review

Its my little boys birthday tomorrow. Usually I am super organised and have presents bought and wrapped a few weeks before his birthday. However this year my life is very hectic and therefore I hadn't had the time to go and shop. This afternoon I was quite panicked and decided to pop into my local town centre and have a look for a really cool gift.

Plenty of my friends have been raving over the store but I had never been in there before. As soon as I went through the door my illusions of the shop were dispelled. I thought because it is a bargain ...  Read the complete review

Bargain Store A new B&M store has recently opened in our town (yippee) Prior to the new store arriving I had never heard of it. Due to the work I do I was actively involved in the recruitment of staff and therefore got a sneak preview and since the store has opened I have been a regular shopper. B&M stores originate from Blackpool and its chain of stores has expanded greatly in recent years. The store sells a huge variety of items including- Toys, Food, Clothing, Toys, Electricals, Household Goods, Soft Furnishing, Xmas goods, Cleaning products and much more. Personally I think it's a great shop. For me its like a cross between ...  Read the complete review

Firstly, I really cannot get over the fact that there is only 12 odd reviews of this absolutely essential, fantastic store!! B and M is a discount retailer often selling a lot of brands you will have heard of and some you may not have encountered before. It sells food, toys, furnishings, alcohol, toiletries, kitchenware, health and beauty items and maybe the odd clothing item all at discount prices. Within 25 miles of Stoke on Trent there are now 13 B and M stores, not bad going. It is clean and very tidy unlike a lot of other discount stores everything is neat and not just thrown on the shelves. It employs 5000 ...  Read the complete review
