An opening date has been announced for a new The Range at the site of the former Homebase in Morecambe.
The Range - Morecambe will open on Hillmore Way on February 28 - with an integrated Homebase Garden Centre.
CDS Superstores, parent company of The Range and wilko, officially announced the opening on Wednesday.
The Range, a top home, leisure and gardens retailer, said they have "prioritised retaining and transferring team members from the acquired Homebase locations, ensuring continuity of employment for local communities".
The Homebase DIY and garden store shut over the weekend after a closing down sale.
HHGL Limited and Hampden Group Ltd, operating under the brand Homebase, entered administration on November 13 2024.

Alex Simpkin, CEO of CDS Superstores, trading as The Range, wilko and Homebase, said: "We’re fully committed to retaining the best of Homebase’s heritage while introducing the broader product range and value that customers expect from us as The Range.
“While those Homebase stores acquired by CDS will continue to trade throughout the transition period, we’re focused on ensuring a seamless transfer of these locations into our new store format, with 15 launches confirmed for this year so far.
“We’re also eager to help consumers nationwide by investing in the Homebase brand with the relaunch of (the Homebase website) offering customers nationwide an upgraded shopping experience via a diverse range of products for all their home and garden projects. This latest development underscores CDS Superstores’ commitment to revitalising the retail landscape by blending trusted brands, preserving jobs and enhancing local economies.”
The stores will also follow The Range’s dog friendly initiative.
CDS said they plan to roll out up to 10 new superstores per month across the UK, with a goal of transforming up to 70 Homebase locations into this new format and securing up to 1,600 jobs throughout 2025.
The Range sells more than 140,000 products across 18 departments including DIY, kitchen & dining, furniture, arts & crafts and textiles.
Owned and run by entrepreneur and self-made billionaire, Chris Dawson, The Range started life as a market stall trading across the South West of England.
The first store was opened in 1989 under the name CDS and there are now over 210 stores across the UK and Ireland.
