B&M conducts stock clearance following Kidderminster store closure
What happened
B&M Bargains at Slingfield Mill on Weavers Wharf has been closed since a fire occurred in August. A social media advertisement recently asked staff to help clear all stock for auction and handover. B&M stated on its website that the Slingfield Mill store remains temporarily closed, though the company hopes to reopen it as soon as possible.
Why it matters
The closure and subsequent liquidation of stock at a B&M location in Kidderminster relates to market activity in the discount retail sector. This event could affect the operational standing of B&M as it competes directly with Home Bargains and Tesco.
