The former Homebase location in Frome has been revived and transformed into a new-format superstore for The Range. The Wessex Fields site welcomed customers today, unveiling a specially curated ‘Garden Centre by Homebase’ that caters to gardening enthusiasts with a diverse selection of outdoor plants, tools, and sundries.
This expansion aligns with The Range’s broader growth strategy, coinciding with the launch of new sites in Sittingbourne, Kent, and Newmarket, Suffolk, as well as multiple openings planned for 2025. The Frome store also introduces a Click & Collect service for added convenience.
Alex Simpkin, CEO of CDS Superstores, expressed enthusiasm about the new venture, stating, “The opening of this new store marks a milestone for us, especially with the introduction of Garden Centres by Homebase – a great new offering for gardening lovers. We’ve combined Homebase’s trusted expertise with the diverse range of products The Range is known for, creating a one-stop-shop destination for home improvement and gardening.”
