Work on supersized B&M store gets underway as Poundstretcher shop closes down

Work has started on creating a giant new supersized shop in Kilmarnock.

Ayrshire Live previously revealed that B&M has been lined up to take charge of three units in the town's Glencairn Retail Park.

Blueprints have been approved to combine the three shops to make one giant store.

Poundstretcher was the only occupied unit with both Brantano Footwear and DW Sport already closed.

But Poundstretcher has now been closed and work is now underway to form what could be one of the town's biggest shops.

Heras-style fencing has been erected around the three units with contractors currently ripping out the shell of Brantano.

Poundstretcher did open a town centre store in Fowlds Street in April last year. Bosses at the discount chain assured customers at the time that the Glencairn Retail Park store wouldn't close.

B&M already have a sizeable store in Kilmarnock at Queen's Drive Retail Park.
