Homebase Frome next on the conversion list

The Homebase store in Frome, Somerset is likely to be the latest store to close and be converted to a Bunnings Warehouse, after closing down signs were placed in windows and around the car park just after Christmas.

Following the same process as previous store closures and Bunnings conversions, the store, located at Wessex Fields has announced it's clearing its current stock with some items reduced by as much as 50%. The signs read: “Store closing. This location only. Stock clearance"

According to the signs, the store is due to cease trading on Sunday, January 21.
