Overview
- B&M will close its Carmarthen Hall Street store on Saturday 15 August and reopen at the larger former B&Q site on Glanyrafon Road (Parc Pensam) on Saturday 22 August.
- The Hylton Riverside Retail Park store in Sunderland will shut for final expansion works from Sunday 16 August and is due to reopen on Saturday 22 August.
- B&M’s website says the short closures are necessary to complete the final phase of works and apologises for any inconvenience while stressing the aim of delivering a "bigger and better B&M experience."
- Local reporting lists nearby alternative outlets for affected shoppers in Sunderland and Carmarthen so customers can get essentials during the planned week‑long interruptions.
- The moves fit a wider expansion strategy by the 700+ store discounter this year that has converted larger ex‑big‑box units and opened new sites to grow its UK footprint.
