Toolstation
 

Hi All

Just had an e-mail from Toolstation;

"Now open! Toolstation's newest Warehouse / Counter, located conveniently to
serve Southampton, Portsmouth and the M27 corridor has opened, on track with
our intention to open hundreds of Toolstation counters around the country.

As with all Toolstation counters, it is easy to access with ample parking
and will be fully stocked with all 8,500 product lines so that customers can
pick up the entire Toolstation range on a daily basis".

If they do indeed open 'hundreds' of Toolstation counters, I reckon B&Q are
in deep trouble - and we are all going to benefit from lower prices and
bigger stock ranges.

I've never heard of them.

Although they have the ideal weapon to fight back with - Screwfix!

I've never heard of them.

Son of Screwfix - started by the original directors of SF after they
sold out to Kingfisher IIUC.

the prices wil have to be higher due to the large added costs.

I'm surprised to see them claim 8500 stock lines though, nowt like that
in my TS catalogue.

From http://www.toolstation.com/help.html :

'Toolstation was launched in 2003 by Mark Goddard-Watts. He and his
family owned The Woodscrew Supply Company which they transformed into
Screwfix Direct before selling it to B&Q in 1999. At Toolstation, Mark
is passionate about running an efficient operation that keeps its costs
low so that customers enjoy low prices for high quality products.'
