Home Bargains has invested around £1 million in its new store and created 65 new jobs.

Boasting 17,168 sq ft, it will offer shoppers a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets and snacks and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

The new Milton Keynes store will join over 575 Home Bargains outlets across the UK. Opening approximately 50 stores a year, Home Bargains is bucking current trends in the industry.

Katie Wilson, the new Milton Keynes store manager, said: “I started my Home Bargains journey in October 2012 in Litherland, Liverpool. I relocated to Milton Keynes six years ago and have recently been running the Beacon Retail Park store in Bletchley. I’m excited to be bringing my years of experience at Home Bargains to the new Kingston Centre store.

“There’s nothing quite like the buzz of opening a new store. A lot of hard work and dedication has gone into the new site, and I can’t wait to open its doors this weekend alongside such a fantastic team. I am exceptionally proud of everyone.

“The Kingston Centre 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.”
