THE Gazette has had an exclusive sneak peek into the new Colchester Home Bargains shop which is set to open at 8am tomorrow morning. The site, which is located at Lightship Way, is a massive store spanning 36,000sq ft. It stocks a range of products, including homeware, health and beauty products, sweets, snacks drinks, fresh and frozen food, and more.
It was recently revealed that the retailer which has more than 600 outlets across the UK, has invested £1 million into the new branch.

There is already a smaller Home Bargains in Turner Rise Retail Park, but this new branch will have some very special extra additions.
This second Home Bargains boasts a bakery, café and garden centre. It has also created 90 jobs for the area. Options - the store has a wide variety of products inside for shoppers (Image: Newsquest) As you walk inside the store, you’ll be taken back by simply how big it is, there are many different aisles to peruse.
It is easy to imagine that some aisles will be more popular than others, given that there is a whole aisle dedicated for back to university and school shoppers. There are also many aisles dedicated to seasonal displays, so if you want to start shopping for Halloween or Christmas already, then you are in luck. Signag.
