HEREFORD will soon have a bigger Home Bargains after a temporary closure to expand and refurb the Holmer Road shop.
Herefordshire Council agreed to plans for the discount chain to amalgamate with the unit next door, which was occupied by Bensons for Beds until it closed in April 2021.
The scheme includes a new shop front and entrance extensions and the car park would be rearranged with parent and child spaces, trolley corral and bollards.
The plans mean Home Bargains will be able to expand its floor space from 1,397 square metres to 2,051.
TJ Morris, who trade as Home Bargains, own the freehold of the site and the shop had been operating from unit A.
It closed on December 24 and signs outside said the shop would reopen in early 2022, but an exact date has not been given.
Fans of Home Bargains face a trip to Monmouth or Worcester for the closest shops in the meantime.
