The opening date for Great Yarmouth's new B&M store has been revealed.

The major homeware retailer will officially open its doors in the Market Gates shopping centre after a full refurbishment on November 30.

B&M signs first appeared in the premises' windows in September and locals have been eagerly awaiting its arrival ever since.

The shop - which has brought 46 new jobs to the town - will sell a wide variety of branded food, drink, home accessories, electricals, DIY essentials, beauty products, toys, gifts and pet food at discount prices.

The store manager said: “We’re feeling extremely positive about the creation of more jobs for local people and we hope customers are going to be delighted with their new store.

“We are all really excited to get the doors open and welcome new customers through the door.”

The unit was occupied by Wilko from 1994 until the firm went into administration in September 2023.

It has remained empty ever since.
