If precedent means anything, Focus became Matalan.


IIRC Focus Penrith became Wickes.


The Focus in Huntingdon became a B&Q.

A Wickes also opened in the town last year (with a Toolstation),
opposite Screwfix. Homebase is up the road (all similarly moderately
sized shops), next to Argos, and a bit further up the road a Dunelm
Mills.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Homebase go.
