The B&M branch was formerly located in the Castlegate Centre before it moved out in 2022. Since then, shoppers have been speculating about a possible relocation for the retailer.

B&M will now occupy the former M&S site that has been vacant since 2018, and officially open its second store in the town which is currently located on Portrack Lane.
