Over the past few years, some of the UK’s most beloved brands have seen massive upheaval. From new openings from the likes of Aldi and Costco to store closures by Wilko, M&S, Boots and Next, some of the country’s most recognisable retailers are adapting to new trends and markets.
And now DIY and garden goods chain Homebase has revealed another wave of closures. In 2024 the brand was bought by CDS Superstores – which also owns Wilko and The Range – and while many Homebases (70, in fact) are set to be turned into The Range stores, not all of them have been saved.
In January it was revealed that administrators could not find buyers for 13 Homebase stores, and they all closed before the end of the month. This week Homebase has revealed that more stores will close, and that 34 more will shut by the end of February.
On top of the locations taken over by CDS, Sainsbury’s has bought 10 old Homebase sites and B&Q has bought five. CDS also promises that Homebase’s relaunched website will be ‘the next chapter in our 45+ year history’.
Here’s everything we know about the Homebase closures this month.
