Home Bargains ramps up Omega operations
The Omega site in Warrington is taking in over 25,000 pallets of stock each week, picking and dispatching almost 2 million cases, equating to over 50,000 cages of stock, and over 1,000 store deliveries, weekly.
OVER 60% of all cases picked have been achieved through the fully automated area of the distribution centre. The Omega facility is now servicing 200 stores across the UK.
This marks a significant step forward in supporting Home Bargains’ growth strategy.
Operations will continue to ramp up over the coming weeks, ahead of a short pause to focus on peak trade. The ramp-up will resume in January 2026, with the Omega site on track to serve 312 stores by the end of January 2026.
At the same time, work is progressing on Home Bargains’ next major development — a new distribution centre in Doncaster, planned to open in Summer 2028. Once complete, the Doncaster site will add capacity for 300+ additional stores, further supporting the company’s long-term expansion plans.
Head of logistics Neil Kelson, said: “The Omega distribution centre is a cornerstone of our strategy to deliver greater efficiency, resilience, and scalability in our supply chain. We’re proud to see it already making such a strong impact, and we look forward to building on this success as we expand towards Doncaster and beyond.”
