Homebase Returns To Bradford

• The home and garden expert has opened a new store in Bradford, creating 30 new jobs
• The new store makes shopping for home and garden projects easy and inspirational

Homebase has returned to Bradford with a new store on Enterprise Way.

The new 34,500 sq. ft store is the one-stop-shop for the products, expertise and inspiration customers need to fix, improve or transform their homes and gardens. This marks Homebase’s fourth new store of the year, following successful openings in Walton-on-Thames, Cheltenham and Abingdon.

The new store has created 30 jobs in the local area and welcomes back four team members from Homebase’s past stores in Bradford and Bingley. All team members have been provided with externally accredited training, including City & Guilds gardening and kitchen design qualifications, to help customers create homes and gardens they love.

The Christmas sparkle has arrived in-store, with trees, string lights and decorations perfect for transforming any home into a winter wonderland. Customers will be able to buy everything they need to make their homes ready for entertaining guests this festive season, including Homebase’s on-trend furniture and home accessories range.

For those looking to redecorate, the store features a Dulux Paint Desk, which offers a paint mixing service, and popular brands including Homebase Paint, Crown, Farrow & Ball, Laura Ashley, ELLE Decoration and Craig & Rose. Customers can also get their hands on the new Maison Deco range, perfect for completely transforming kitchen units, tiles, flooring and radiators for a fraction of the price and in time for Christmas.

Instagram’s favourite trend, wall panelling, can be taken away ready-made and for those who want to create the look from scratch, helpful room sets show off the finished design. There’s a wide range of tools and hardware to make any DIY task simple too. Customers will also find plenty of flooring and tiling options to complete any home project.

House Beautiful and Country Living furniture and home accessories are available in-store, as part of Homebase’s partnership with leading premium content and experience business, Hearst UK.

There’s a variety of kitchen and Bathstore bathroom designs on show, including the exclusive House Beautiful and Country Living kitchens and House Beautiful bathroom furniture, and features high-quality appliances from brands including Bosch, Neff and Miele. Expert advice is on hand from Homebase’s team members who can turn customers’ design ideas into a reality through free design consultations, using Homebase’s 3D visualisation software.

The 10,000 sq. ft garden centre* has everything customers need to keep their outdoor spaces thriving this winter with plenty of plants, pots, outdoor storage and garden care. With more than 40 years of gardening expertise, Homebase’s specially trained team members will help customers with the products, advice and inspiration they need for any outdoor space, from balconies to lawns. 

Bee and insect houses have been installed in the garden centre in a bid to boost biodiversity and are available to purchase in-store. Customers can also buy pollinator friendly seeds, known for providing much-needed food and habitats for wildlife.

'Order and Collect' is also available, making it even easier for customers to buy products from Homebase’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, Homebase Retail Director, comments: “Our new store and brilliant team in Bradford are ready to inspire customers to give home and garden projects a go this winter.

“We’ve made it easy for customers to shop with us, from inspirational room sets that are full of creative ideas to QR codes that bring our products to life. Order and Collect means that customers can buy anything from our full range and can take their order home within the hour.”

Between 1983 and 2018, Homebase had a store on Harrogate Road, Bradford.
