Homebase has revealed that it has opened a new store in Cheltenham, marking the first one to open in six years.

Located on Tewkesbury Road, the new 36,591 sq. ft store has created 29 jobs in the local area.

Included in the new showroom is a variety of kitchen and bathroom designs including the House Beautiful and Country Living kitchens, and features appliances from brands including Bosch, Neff and Miele.

In addition, customers will be able to shop home furniture and accessories, from chairs and cushions to lighting and candles. Flooring and tiling can also be found in-store alongside wallpaper, furniture and home accessories.

“Order and Collect” is also available, making it easier for customers to buy products from the retailer’s full range of more than 35,000 products, either online for pick-up in-store within the hour or order in-store for home delivery.

Grant Anderson, retail director, Homebase, said: “This store looks completely different to those we’ve had in the town in the past – it’s designed to make shopping with us easier than ever.

“From clever QR codes that show customers how to recreate the look in their own homes to the helpful advice our team can offer, we’re ready to inspire the local community.”
