About Heron Foods

At Heron Foods, we’re all about helping customers find more of the bargains they love. For almost 50 years, we’ve been offering great value groceries, frozen food and chilled products, alongside exciting WOW Deals on big name brands.

Across more than 340 stores in England, customers can discover new offers every week as our range continually evolves. Whether they’re picking up everyday essentials or looking for a bargain, they’ll find great value, well known brands and plenty of reasons to come back…

Heron Foods was established in Hull in 1979 and year on year increased it’s network of stores throughout the UK.

In February 2003 the Company changed hands, but remained a family business until in September 2017 it was brought by B&M Stores

We now trade from 340+ stores, employ over 6000 people and are constantly striving to expand and spread our message of quality and value throughout the country.

In 2009 we moved away from our ageing cold store and warehouse operation in West Hull to a purpose built facility measuring 270,000 square feet at Melton in East Yorkshire, just to the West of Hull, which has been designed to enable the Company to continue with its ambitious growth plans

Mission Statement

Heron Foods are committed to providing top quality products at the lowest possible prices every day in every store.

Corporate Social Responsibility

As a responsible retailer embedded in our community, our aim is to source the best range of products at the lowest prices, whilst respecting the environment and communities where we operate.

At the heart of the community

We seek to put something back into the communities where we operate. We help regenerate high streets, we create jobs and we provide outstanding customer service. We give generous support to a range of charities that help the socially disadvantaged and community-focused good causes.

We trade under both the Heron Foods and B&M Express banners although the formats are identical.

Each store employs up to 15 colleagues and our ideal is for our new starters to come from the community that they are to serve.

Our network of stores runs from Newcastle to Cardiff, Blackpool to Luton.

Our stores can be found on Busy Town or City Centre High Streets to Community Hubs and District Parades.
