B&M has made a major change in a number of its stores across the UK, and customers are very happy. The discount retailer has introduced baskets at the end of aisles in the middle of the store, rather than solely at the entrance.
Baskets now placed mid-store
B&M unveiled the new development in a video posted on TikTok, revealing that baskets will now be positioned at the end of aisles in the middle of the store. Shoppers are already hailing the move as an absolute 'game changer', with the discount retail giant proudly showing off the update on social media.
The video was captioned: 'when we decided to put baskets in the middle of the aisles'.
Shoppers react to the change
While customers clearly adored the decision to add baskets mid-store, one shopper urged the retailer to take things a step further. They said: 'Now just need a couple of trolleys too, when the decision to upgrade from basket to trolley is made.' The B&M team replied 'Working on it' with a laughing crying emoji.
Founded in 1978, B&M has grown to become one of Britain's most prominent variety retailers. Starting out with a single store in Blackpool, Lancashire, the company has since expanded to more than 700 outlets across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, employing upwards of 35,000 members of staff. The retailer is currently headquartered in Speke, Liverpool.
