B&M Stores are to take over the B&Q store on Broadway after it closes in January.

A planning application names the company as the prospective new occupier and if agreed it could see the new store open in the New Year.

B & M want to sell food and drink, toiletries, clothing and other items.

The new store will bring jobs to the own, with B & M saying: “The B&M team is rapidly expanding across the UK and we are looking for the most talented retail professionals to join our team.”

From its first store in Blackpool, Lancashire, B&M has grown to over 450 stores and employs over 20,000 staff.
