SYDNEY Bunnings has announced plans to add over 100 new stores in the UK over the next five to eight years. The Australian retailer made its entry into UK market last year when its parent Wesfarmers bought DIY chain Homebase. The smaller format stores will open in urban centres to attract the coveted millennial shopper. The conversion of Homebase stores to the Bunnings banner continues gradually, with 20 more expected by year’s end.
