National retailer Home Bargains plan to remain closed this Boxing Day giving staff at both of its Swindon stores an extra day off this Christmas.
Tom Morris, founder and managing director of Home Bargains, says staff who have been working hard in the run up to the big day should be able to spend Boxing Day with family friends.
He said: “Christmas is a significant period in the retail calendar, and with staff across the business spending months building up to the occasion every year, we wanted to give them an opportunity to relax and truly enjoy the break with their loved ones.
“Home Bargains is a family-run business and we know the importance of being with loved ones at Christmas time.
“We also appreciate that our staff work tirelessly to keep over 500 of our stores running like clockwork, so giving everyone Boxing Day off is our way of saying thank you for their hard work and commitment.
“We look forward to welcoming shoppers back through our doors on Thursday 27 December.”
