Homebase is a British home improvement retailing company, specialising in DIY, garden, and homeware products. Founded on 10 April 1981 as a between J Sainsbury and GB-Inno-BM, it opened its first store in Purley Way, , and has since grown to become one of the United Kingdom's largest and chains. The company has undergone several ownership changes, including acquisition by in 2002, sale to Australian conglomerate for £340 million in 2016, and transfer to for a nominal £1 in 2018 amid financial difficulties. At its peak, Homebase operated over 250 stores employing around 12,000 people. In November 2024, Homebase entered administration, putting 3,446 jobs and 135 stores at risk. CDS Superstores, owner of The Range and Wilko, acquired the brand, intellectual property, and up to 70 stores in a pre-pack deal, planning to reopen 45 under The Range format while retaining the Homebase name online and in select locations. By November 2025, 65 stores had closed, but new garden centres and relaunched sites were opening, securing around 1,600 jobs.

History

Founding and early growth (1981–1999)

Homebase was established in October 1979 as a between the supermarket chain J Sainsbury plc, which held a 75% stake, and the Belgian retailer GB-Inno-BM, with the remaining 25% share. The partnership aimed to enter the growing home improvement sector by adapting a successful Belgian DIY model, emphasizing comprehensive product ranges, customer advice, and high standards in store design and operations. The first store opened in April 1981 at Purley Way in , , serving as both a outlet and the company's initial ; it featured innovative elements like a demonstration house and partnerships with brands such as to appeal to a broad customer base, including women. Operating under the name , the chain focused on DIY tools, home improvement materials, and garden products, positioning stores near supermarkets to capitalize on synergies like one-stop shopping for groceries and home needs. This integration allowed customers to combine routine food shopping with home projects, boosting footfall and cross-promotion; for instance, the store's early trading performance exceeded expectations by 2.5 times within its first months, demonstrating strong initial demand. The company pursued gradual expansion throughout the 1980s and 1990s, opening its second store in in October 1981 and achieving its 50th location in by 1989, which solidified its position as the UK's fourth-largest retailer. By the mid-1990s, prior to the 1995 acquisition of rival —which briefly tripled its footprint through 241 additional sites—Homebase operated approximately 82 stores nationwide. This measured growth aligned with rising consumer interest in homeownership and renovations. In 1999, as the conversion of acquired Texas Homecare stores to the format concluded, the chain rebranded by dropping "Sainsbury's" from its name to foster a standalone identity amid increasing market competition. Early financial performance reflected steady revenue increases, particularly during the housing market booms of the mid-to-late , when house prices rose over 15% annually on average, driving demand for DIY and improvement products; sales grew consistently, with the business contributing meaningfully to overall profits by the decade's end.

Expansion and consolidation (2000–2015)

In January 1995, J Sainsbury plc acquired rival DIY chain from Ladbroke Group plc for £290 million, adding approximately 240 stores to Homebase's existing 82 outlets and effectively tripling its size. The acquisition involved closing 26 underperforming Texas locations and converting the remainder to the Homebase format between 1996 and 1999, establishing a nationwide presence. By 2000, this expansion had resulted in a peak network of 283 stores, blending high street sites with larger out-of-town formats to optimize accessibility and scale. In December 2000, sold to Schroder Ventures in a deal valued at £969 million, which included £750 million for the core business and additional payments for retained properties that planned to divest later. This transaction marked 's independence from , allowing focused management under to drive operational efficiencies and further consolidation. Homebase's growth continued in November 2002 when it was acquired by GUS plc (owner of ) for £900 million, integrating it into the Argos Retail Group (later renamed in 2006). The move created operational synergies, including shared supply chains and property rationalization, projected to yield £20 million in annual cost savings within three years. During this stable phase under ownership, Homebase consolidated its store portfolio while extending product lines into areas like kitchens and bathrooms to enhance customer offerings in .

Ownership challenges under Wesfarmers (2016–2018)

In January 2016, Australian conglomerate acquired Homebase from for £340 million as part of its strategy to expand the Warehouse brand into the market. The purchase provided with an established network of over 250 stores, allowing it to test the model, which emphasized low prices, wide product ranges, and high levels of in the sector. Wesfarmers initiated a major rebranding effort to convert Homebase stores to the format, importing elements of the Australian model such as warehouse-style layouts, bulk purchasing, and enhanced in-store services. This included sending Australian executives to oversee operations and providing extensive staff training to align employees with Bunnings' customer-focused culture, which prioritized hands-on advice and product demonstrations. By late 2016, 24 pilot stores had been fully rebranded as Warehouses, featuring imported product lines like barbecues and outdoor equipment suited to Australian lifestyles. The transition led to significant operational disruptions, including supply chain challenges from sourcing Australian-specific inventory that did not align with market demands, resulting in excess stock and inventory mismatches. Poor adaptation to consumer preferences—such as smaller living spaces and less emphasis on large-scale outdoor projects—further exacerbated sales declines, as the model failed to resonate with local DIY habits. These issues contributed to cumulative financial losses exceeding £1 billion for , including a £584 million charge in early 2018 attributed to self-inflicted errors in the repositioning strategy. In response to mounting losses, announced the closure of 15 underperforming stores in February 2018, along with around 1,400 job cuts, reducing the network to approximately 240 locations and signaling a strategic retreat. conducted a review of its UK operations and ultimately decided to exit the market, selling to in May 2018 for a nominal £1, booking an additional £200–230 million loss on disposal and effectively ending its involvement after two years of challenges.

Decline under Hilco and administration (2018–2025)

Following its acquisition by in 2018, Homebase implemented immediate restructuring measures to address ongoing financial losses inherited from previous ownership. In August 2018, the company announced the closure of 42 stores across the , which put approximately 1,500 jobs at risk as part of a company voluntary arrangement (CVA) aimed at reducing costs and stabilizing operations. These closures, combined with the shutdown of two distribution centers, were intended to streamline the and focus on more viable locations, though they marked the beginning of significant retrenchment under Hilco's stewardship. By February 2020, Homebase's store network had been reduced to 164 outlets, reflecting further closures and a strategic pivot amid intensifying competition in the DIY sector. Rivals such as , with its broader product range, and , targeting trade customers with efficient, no-frills formats, eroded Homebase's market share by offering more competitive pricing and specialized services. Despite a brief return to profitability announced in early 2020, driven by cost-cutting and improved efficiency, the chain struggled to regain momentum as consumer preferences shifted toward online and specialist retail. Homebase's challenges culminated in its entry into on November 13, 2024, triggered by unsustainable debt levels exceeding £100 million and persistent sales declines exacerbated by post-pandemic market saturation and rising operational costs. Administrators from were appointed to oversee the process, placing all 135 remaining stores and over 3,000 jobs under immediate threat. The administration highlighted Hilco's inability to fully revive the brand despite earlier interventions, as the retailer faced a shrinking physical footprint and inability to compete effectively in a consolidating industry. In the ensuing asset sales, CDS Superstores—the owner of The Range and —acquired the brand, , , and up to 70 stores in a pre-pack deal that preserved around 1,600 jobs and allowed the brand to continue under new ownership. Of the remaining sites, purchased five stores for £2.5 million in 2025, converting them to its own format by year-end, while acquired four additional locations in March 2025 to expand its trade-focused network. The final four original stores closed in March 2025. However, under CDS Superstores, the brand has been integrated into new superstore formats at former sites, with multiple locations reopened throughout 2025 in a hybrid model combining Homebase and The Range elements, and the relaunched in 2025, allowing the brand to continue trading as of November 2025.

Operations

Product range and services

Homebase's product range centered on and essentials, catering to DIY enthusiasts and homeowners. Key categories encompassed DIY tools such as power drills, , and hand tools for and repairs; paints and decorating supplies including interior/exterior paints, brushes, rollers, wallpapers, and accessories from brands like and ; outdoor living products like , barbecues, and decking materials; kitchen and fittings featuring sinks, taps, cabinets, and tiles; and essentials such as , seeds, bulbs, , mowers, and tools. The retailer provided a variety of services to support purchases and projects. These included in-store consultations for kitchens and bathrooms, where specialists offered home visits for measurements followed by personalized sessions; nationwide options with free delivery on many items and order tracking; and and hire services, such as carpet cleaners and partnerships with providers like Hire Station for additional DIY rentals. Product sourcing evolved to include a mix of third-party brands and exclusive own-label lines, emphasizing affordability and quality. Notable own-brand offerings like Essentials provided budget-friendly options across DIY, decorating, and garden categories, with over 300 items priced from 99p to support everyday home needs. Seasonal promotions were integrated to align with customer cycles, particularly expanding garden center displays and discounts on , , and outdoor items during spring and summer, such as 20% off selected outdoor during bank holidays. Complementing its physical stores, Homebase introduced online ordering capabilities in the early 2000s, enabling customers to browse the full range, place orders for or click-and-collect, and access exclusive web deals. This digital integration grew over time, with relaunches enhancing the platform for over 40,000 products by 2025.

Store network and format

Homebase's store network primarily consisted of large out-of-town superstores, typically ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 square feet in size, designed to accommodate extensive displays of and products. These stores often featured attached or integrated garden centres, providing dedicated spaces for outdoor plants, tools, and supplies, which enhanced the one-stop-shopping experience for customers. The layout emphasized practicality, with wide aisles to facilitate navigation for shopping trolleys loaded with bulky items and ample parking areas suitable for large vehicles such as vans and trailers. Geographically, Homebase's operations were concentrated in , which accounted for over 80% of its stores, with additional presence in , , and . The retailer briefly expanded into the during the early 2000s but later divested most of those locations. At its peak around 2000, the network comprised 283 stores across these regions, reflecting aggressive expansion in the sector. By the end of 2020, this had reduced to 135 stores amid ongoing rationalization efforts to improve efficiency. Post-2010, Homebase began adapting to changing retail trends by experimenting with mixed formats, incorporating smaller high-street and edge-of-town locations alongside its traditional superstores to better serve urban customers. This shift included trial openings of compact stores focused on specific categories, such as and kitchens, to complement the larger out-of-town sites and respond to the rise of convenience-driven shopping. elements like demonstration areas for tools were integrated into these formats to allow hands-on , though the core network remained dominated by expansive superstore models.

Administration and closure (2024–2025)

In November 2024, Homebase entered administration due to financial difficulties, putting approximately 2,000 jobs at risk across its remaining 130 stores. Administrators from oversaw the process, leading to the closure of 65 stores in 2025 alone, with the final four original Homebase stores shutting in March 2025. Twelve stores were acquired by and , ten leaseholds by for conversion to supermarkets, and up to 70 by CDS Superstores (owner of The Range), which rebranded them as The Range superstores incorporating "Garden Centres by Homebase." The Homebase brand continued online under CDS, with the website relaunched in January 2025 and an expansion to in June 2025 offering over 40,000 products via click-and-collect at integrated sites. This marked the end of Homebase as an independent retailer but preserved elements of its operations within larger retail formats.
