A welcome jobs boost has come to East Kilbride with the opening of a new discount retailer on the former Rolls-Royce site. The opening of Home Bargains on Mavor Avenue is part of a huge redevelopment of the area, which once was home to the iconic engineering firm. Thousands were employed by the aerospace giant at its peak but the new store is set to create up to 50 new jobs. Plans for the multi-million pound redevelopment of the industrial site included hundreds of new homes as well as retail units. Fellow discounter Aldi also opened a store on the site with new homes also now occupied. Demolition work on the Rolls-Royce building began in 2016 after the Nerston plant closed for the last time the previous year. Home Bargains officially opened on Saturday and the store marks an investment of nearly £1million in the town. The company is one of the UK’s largest family-run retailers. This will be the company’s second store in East Kilbride, joining over 500 outlets across … [Read more...] about Double jobs boost for town as Home Bargains and beauty salon create 55 jobs

Home Bargains price tags reveal how long items will be in stores for
SHOPPING for a bargain can be tricky if you don't know how long the goods will be available for, but luckily there's a simple way to find this out in Home Bargains. The bargain shop uses different codes on price tags to indicate whether a product will be back in stock or if it’s a one-time only offer. On its price tags, the word "REG" on the bottom left corner indicates the item is a regular product that will be restocked once it has sold out. Meanwhile, the code "ONE" means that it's a one-time only offer. This means the item will only be in store for a limited time and will not be restocked once sold out. So if you spot any of these in stores, it's best to buy the product then and there - or it could be gone the next time you pop by the retailer. The Sun asked Home Bargains to clarify how long products with "ONE" tags usually are available for, but we haven't yet heard back. A similar strategy is used in Asda, according to money blogger Ricky Willis, also known as Skint Dad. … [Read more...] about Home Bargains price tags reveal how long items will be in stores for
