The discount chain Home Bargains has confirmed plans to shut all of its Oxfordshire branches for three consecutive days during the upcoming holiday period.

The company, which operates 617 outlets throughout the United Kingdom, will close its doors to customers on December 25, December 26, and January 1.

Four locations within Oxfordshire will be impacted by the temporary closures.

The affected branches are situated on Botley Road in Oxford, at Kings Park in Wantage, within Faringdon Retail Park, and at Banbury Cross Retail Park.

A similar closure schedule was implemented across the entire retail chain during the same timeframe in the previous year.

At that occasion, the family-owned business stated that offering employees extra time away from work during the festive season to be with loved ones was a source of pride.
