Costcutter revived Kwik Save two years ago, but they didn't bring back the old logo. This is the current one.

Maybe that branch of B&M closed down, and when the sign was removed it revealed an old Kwik Save sign behind it?

That or B&M's cheap signage just fell off.

The KwikSave revival was mentioned in the bowels of this thread somewhere. I'm not sure they bought the brand, more like the trademark became an orphan and they recreated a new brand using the same name.

It's definitely the old logo and not the new one - maybe it is just the old signage showing for some reason (although you'd think it would have been taken down and not just covered over!). I shall keep an eye on it and report back.

Nah, B&M Bargains signage is notoriously cheap:

Did part of the signage fall down, or did they not bother to cover all the Woolworths signage in the first place?

Part of it fell off. Essentially their normal thing to do is attach panels directly to whatever already exists rather than putting up their own assembly or even replacing panels from such an assembley - hence the lack of proper lighting most of the time.

Yep - B&M signage has reappeared.

New, but not actually adopted as the company logo - the old one is still used in adverts. Someone posted about that on here last year. I think it might only be used on that one branch.

I like the 'Diamond Deals' sign in the window. Any relation?

Looks like it was a trial logo for the high street stores...
