An application is underway for a mixed goods discount store at the former Homebase location in Hessle, as per council records. The store on Sainsbury’s Way shut down in January following the company’s administration. The application aims to broaden the range of items that can be sold on the site. Hull City Council will now review the application. The request seeks approval to sell food and drink goods, pet supplies, toys, non-fashion clothing and footwear, as well as books and stationary on the premises. The council documents indicate that the site would be suitable for retailers like B&M, Home Bargains, Poundstretcher, Poundland, or The Range. The possibility of any of these retailers moving in is currently speculative. The application emphasizes that the arrival of one of these retailers would not hinder nearby stores. The application further notes the successful coexistence of three non-food mixed discount retailers at Kingston Retail Park.
