B&M is set to open four new stores in various locations across the UK in October 2023.
The popular chain retailer currently has over 700 stores across the UK and will add to that this month.
B&M has already increased its UK numbers in 2023 opening five stores last month alone - including in Wigan, Llanelli and Stockton-on-Tees.
This comes as a boost for the UK high street which has taken a significant hit in 2023.
Next revealed recently it would be closing 11 stores before the end of the year.
Wilko entered administration in August resulting in hundreds of stores shutting their doors for good in the months following - with the last phase of closures set to take place this month.
Boots revealed earlier this year it would be closing 300 stores in the next 12 months.
Other UK high-street retailers including Argos, New Look and Iceland have also closed a number of stores across the UK in 2023.
