The store spans an impressive 23,000ft² and is located at the Sovereign Harbour Retail Park. It also includes a spacious 9,000ft² Garden Centre featuring a wide variety of plants and gardening essentials.

The new B&M store welcomed its first customers on Thursday, 14 September 2023. The site, previously occupied by Cineworld, has undergone extensive refurbishment to transform it into a one-stop shopping destination.

Shoppers can explore a diverse range of products, from branded groceries to health and beauty items, homeware, electricals, DIY essentials, toys, games and gifts, all available at competitive prices.

Local charity honoured at the opening

During the grand opening ceremony, B&M store employees nominated Eastbourne Foodbank, a local charity, to receive special recognition for their invaluable community support.

Eastbourne Foodbank says it is committed to ensuring that no one in the community goes hungry.

It provides essential services, including three days' worth of nutritionally balanced emergency food, toiletry items, baby supplies, welfare benefits advice, money and debt management guidance, as well as referrals for new mothers and families in need.

Impact on the local community

The store manager from B&M expressed excitement about the new store's positive impact on local employment opportunities and extended gratitude to Eastbourne Foodbank for their remarkable efforts.

The store manager stated, "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."

He noted, "Eastbourne Foodbank really stood out for us, so we wanted to give them some VIP treatment as a thank you for all the hard work that they have done. We hope that our donation can help them to continue the great work they do."

The opening of the new B&M store marks a significant addition to the retail landscape in Eastbourne, offering a wide range of affordable products while also supporting a deserving local charity.
