When the DIY chain entered administration in November it had 133 stores in the UK. The brand was immediately sold to The Range and Wilko owner CDS, securing up to 1,600 jobs and the future of up to 70 branches, with 50 locations already agreed. Homebase said all stores would remain open and continue to trade as usual, then 74 sites were put up for sale with a deadline of November 29 set for bids.

Sainsbury's is expected to buy three more stores, after securing 10 earlier in 2024, but this has not been confirmed. Earlier this month, B&Q agreed to buy five branches, leaving an estimated 58 stores which could be sold or closed. This means the future of 49 stores is still being decided.

Homebase had 3,600 employees at the time of administration. Employees are being consulted and supported as negotiations continue. Here's the full list of confirmed Homebase stores shutting their doors in January:. The closure dates haven't been confirmed yet.

CDS has announced nine locations which will be turned into new-format The Range stores. Some shops will include Homebase garden centres and Dulux paint mixing machines and colour walls inside. CDS said it is hoping to open three of the hybrid stores each week, up to a total of 70.
