Larrissa and her pals were speechless upon entering the store in Bournemouth, which was previously a Homebase. The giant building stretches the full length of the Mallard Road Retail Park’s car park and was crowned "the best B&M" in the country in 2022 by the chain.

It spans a whopping 79,000sq ft which is even bigger than a standard football pitch of 64,000 sq ft and over triple the size of the average B&M which is 22,000sq ft. The shop is the only one in the entire country to stock every single line that B&M has - a huge 19,000 - all in one place.

Not only is Bournemouth B&M the biggest one in the country, but it is also the most visited with 500,000 customer transactions last year. Posting on social media, Larrissa documented her “fun” day out to the store as she said: “Come with me to the biggest B&M in the UK. We travelled over two hours, 100 miles to the B&M in Bournemouth.”.

Upon entering the store, which employs 90 staff, she beamed: “I cannot believe how big this is.”. Larrissa spotted “aisles upon aisles of cleaning products, everything you can imagine” and was impressed with the stocking filler ideas and kids toys.
