The owner of The Range is planning to open a string of new stores this week in former Homebase branches.

CDS Superstores acquired 70 outlets when the DIY chain fell into administration last year.

The company, which also owns Wilko, previously announced plans to launch its new superstore format in 45 Homebase stores around the 海角视频. CDS has also relaunched the Homebase website.

The latest stores will open on Friday, May 9, in Santry, the Republic of Ireland; Woodside Park, Sheffield; Tiverton Devon; and Cookstown, Northern Ireland.

The new-style Range branches will all have Homebase-branded garden centres and a number will have kitchen sections under the DIY brand. The outlets will also allow dogs inside, provided they are kept on a lead.

CDS plans to roll out up to 10 new superstores a month, with a goal of transforming up to 70 Homebase locations into this new format and securing up to 1,600 jobs throughout 2025.

It also said it had "prioritised" retaining and transferring staff from the acquired Homebase locations.

Alex Simpkin, chief executive of CDS Superstores, said: "We’re fully committed to retaining the best of Homebase’s heritage while introducing the broader product range and value that customers expect from us as The Range.

“While those Homebase stores acquired by CDS will continue to trade throughout the transition period, we’re focused on ensuring a seamless transfer of these locations into our new store format, with 15 launches confirmed for this year so far."
