ENNISKILLEN — Popular discount retailer Home Bargains is set to open its very first Enniskillen store this July, bringing with it a welcome boost to the town’s retail landscape.
The new store will be located at the Lakelands Retail & Leisure Park, the brand-new development on the site of the former Unipork factory along the Cornagrade Road, approximately one mile from Enniskillen’s town centre. The retail park is expected to become a major shopping destination in the region, and the arrival of Home Bargains marks one of its flagship openings.
With over 26 stores already operating across Northern Ireland, Home Bargains continues to expand its footprint, offering shoppers a wide range of products including household goods, food and drink, health and beauty, toys, homeware, seasonal items, and more – all at budget-friendly prices.
A Growing Retail Giant
Founded in Liverpool in 1976 by Tom Morris, Home Bargains has grown from a single store into one of the UK’s largest privately-owned companies. Operating under its parent company TJ Morris Ltd, the retailer now has over 575 stores across the UK and employs more than 25,000 staff.
Home Bargains is known for offering big-brand products at low prices, attracting a broad customer base looking for both value and convenience.
In recent years, the company has taken over a number of former
Homebase locations as part of its expansion strategy, converting them into spacious retail units better suited to the Home Bargains model. These takeovers have enabled the chain to fast-track openings in key regional areas, especially where larger floor spaces are needed for its ever-growing product range.
A Boost for Enniskillen Shoppers
The opening of Home Bargains in Enniskillen is being welcomed by residents eager for more variety and value-driven shopping options. While Enniskillen already hosts several high street names within the Erneside Shopping Centre, the new Lakelands Retail Park promises to diversify and modernise the local retail offering.
With the cost of living remaining high, Home Bargains’ arrival could not be more timely for families and individuals looking to save on everyday essentials.
