Wickes is set to open a new Dunfermline store.
The home improvement chain is planning to open in the Homebase unit at Halbeath Retail Park.
Wickes has confirmed that employees will remain in their roles when it takes over the shop.
Homebase will close for good on Saturday.
David Wood, Chief Executive of Wickes, announced the chain has taken over four new stores across the country.
He said: “We are delighted to be acquiring these former Homebase stores and welcoming all colleagues currently working there into the Wickes family.
“The acquisition of these four stores is a further boost to our ambitious store opening programme as we look to grow the Wickes brand, helping even more customers with their home improvement projects so they can feel house proud.”
