Second Home Bargains store opening in Carrickfergus
Home Bargains will open its second store in Carrickfergus on Saturday 7th June.
Dubbed ‘Carrickfergus 2’, the store is situated in Shore Commercial Park and boasts a Home Bargains bakery, café and garden centre.
Representing an investment of approximately £5 million, the new store is 24,994 sq ft and is creating 76 jobs for the area.
The discount store is widely known for its extensive range of products including homewares, health and beauty products, fresh and frozen food, gardening products and a range of sweets, snacks and drinks.
The store is the second for the County Antrim town, following on from the store at Decourcy Shopping Centre.
Founded in Liverpool almost 50 years ago, Home Bargains revealed that its sales in 2024 had broken the £4 billion mark, with pre-tax profits up 35% to £454.8 million.
Carrickfergus 2 store manager, Adrienne Wady has described her pride in being part of the brand-new store in her home town.
“We are not only opening a store – we are building a team, serving families, and becoming part of the daily life for many residents within the community,” Adrienne told the Carrick Times.
“It is exciting to be part of something that will not only offer great value to our local community but also provide job opportunities to those in surrounding areas.”
