Re: Store closures
Screwfix was sold by its west country founder to B&Q, who are closing their tin sheds and opening Screwfix branches rapido.
Tool Station was started by the founders of Screwfix as a competitor, and is now owned by a British buildings company, Travis Perkins. Growing rapidly in the Netherlands and GB.
I use Toolstation as they have a good website, and sharper prices. Customer service is excellent too. I see the large tin sheds as mammoths as the rise and rise of boutique DIY outlets grow. TopsTiles for one. Specific and specialist advice available, rather than the B&Q greeting - All right mate?
