New in-store bakeries will sell freshly baked goods at 64 Home Bargain sites across the country, including three based in Greater Manchester.

The budget retailer has already begun the rollout at some of its stores nationwide with the first few including locations at Darlington, Basingstoke and Merthyr, and will add another 20 bakeries to the list over the next 12 months.

Shoppers across Greater Manchester can pick up their freshly baked goods in their Home bargains shop, with bakeries set to open in Oldham, Walkden and Bolton in the coming months.

The Home Bargains in Walkden is located at the retail park and the Bolton site is located at Middlebrook Retail and Leisure, in Horwich.

It has not yet been confirmed which of the three Oldham based sites will feature the new in-store bakery, however, a job advert for the Market Place store has asked for staff members to run a bakery and cafe.

A spokesperson for Home Bargains said: “In recent years the market for fresh baked goods in the UK has grown significantly and the bakeries we have introduced at stores nationwide have allowed customers to enjoy our competitively priced fresh bakery range.

“We are looking forward to introducing more bakeries in stores as we roll out our fresh bakery range for customers across the UK to enjoy.”

Shoppers will be able to choose a variety of baked goods, from baguettes and tiger rolls, to pastries, muffins and doughnuts.

Home Bargains has said there will be a focus on a small product range so as to offer the best quality of value. All bakeries will operate on the same opening hours as the stores they are located in.

The baked goods available will include a pack of five sausage rolls for £1.09, baguettes for 75p, a pack of four scotch rolls for 85p, and cheese twists for 59p.

As well as cinnamon whirls for 55p, two vanilla crowns for 79p, ten mini jam, sugar or chocolate doughnuts for £1, and a four pack of iced, sugared or chocolate ring donuts for 99p.
