B&M has revealed that it plans to open its new Arnold store in February.
The new store, which will occupy the former Wilkos building on Front Street, will open to the public on Wednesday, February 21.
The former Wilkos store has remained empty since it closed on October 8.
The store’s closure had led to a decline in footfall in the town centre that had impacted trade at the local market.
B&M announced plans to takeover a number of former Wilkos store and it revealed last month that the Arnold site would be one of them.
Fans of the chain said they were happy the building would have new life breathed into it when B&M plans were revealed “We could have a full day out here if it opens,” one shopper posted on Gedling Eye’s Facebook page. “Aww yes, B&M is definitely most welcome,” said another.
Hi yes Arnold very quiet since Wilko closed except for the bars on the walkway on front street did we need more bars, No!!
