B&M opens in Livingston

There was plenty of excitement in Livingston today as a new B&M store, with Garden Centre, was opened.

It's the latest addition to the stores in the West Lothian region and comes as a huge boost to the local economy thanks to the creation of 70 jobs.

Visitors to the store, based in Almondvale Business Park, will be able to browse a wide range of branded and own label goods, including toys, groceries, health & beauty and pet ranges.

The new store also features a large 5000 square foot garden centre attachment.

As part of the opening day celebrations, B&M colleagues invited along a local charity, River Kids Scottish Children's Charity, to be their VIP for the day – who also received £250 worth of B&M vouchers as a thank you for taking part.

The charity aim to make sure that all children and young people receive the best care and experience when in need of help.

168,000 babies, children and young people are treated at Glasgow Hospital every year. River Kids Scottish Children's Charity sits firmly at the heart of the hospital, raising money to ensure that their young patients and families receive the best possible care.

A spokesperson for B&M said: “We’re feeling really positive about the creation of new jobs for local people and we hope customers are going to be delighted with their new store.

“We are all really excited to get the doors open and welcome our new customers through the door in a few weeks.”
