B&M is one of the UK’s leading budget shops and one of the only discount stores to remain on high streets nationally.
The store will be altering its hours over the Christmas period, like many high-street chains. So when will B&M be open in December 2024?
B&M, like many other retailers, will be closed on December 25, 2024.
The shop will also shut early on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, so their workers can enjoy a break.
However, unlike other high-street shops, B&M will remain open on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
The store will operate under reduced hours on December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2025, though.
On both of these days, the store will close at 6pm.

The retailer isn’t the only major brand changing its opening times over the Christmas period.
M&S, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Lidl and Aldi are all closing their doors on Christmas day.
DIY shops including B&M are also following suit.
B&M was founded by Malcolm Billington and Brian Mayman in 1978.
The pair launched their company in Cleveleys, before it was bought out in 1996.
The company was acquired by Phildrew Investments in 2004 and went on to see significant growth in the succeeding years.
By 2014, the chain had opened its 400th store and, by 2018, it acquired the French discount retailer Babou.
Babou stores were soon replaced by B&M shops.
The brand tightened its grip on the high street in 2023 when it acquired 51 Wilko stores from the administrator for £13 million.
