What is going on with this company, I turn around and there is one at the bottom of my street, not even in a retail area!

That's nice for you, but we were talking about Screwfis shops

Soon they will be selling sheet materials and pot plants. Then they will have a cafe inside. Then soft furnishings and pet food.
Who knows where it will end?

It's like the spread of Pizza and Kebab shops around here
Hot Pasties? Ah no, a Pub would be better :)
Then soft furnishings and pet food.
Bought out by either Tesco or Walmart or Amazon.
Converted into microdistribution centres for online orders.
Meanwhile Argos will silently go to the wall.

Yes, losing focus led to Focus losing.

Nearest here is King's Lynn, about 20 miles away.
But is it worth going? I've never been to a Screwfix. In fact, I've never bought anything from them online either, although I do seem to end up on their website frequently when Googling for stuff and the website layout is satisfactory.
In the store, can one browse around, like at e.g. B&Q, or is all the exciting stuff, e.g. corner clamps, routers, kept behind the counter?

Tesco will take it over and get rid of the tools and screws.

Is that really too bad? Their prices are no longer competitive.

A fiver! I'm retired, so it's no skin off my nose when they come. No way I'd waste a fiver just to save waiting in. Why not spend the fiver on express delivery before 9 am or whatever it is they promise? Me, I always use Free Supersaver Delivery for everything.

Budgens stocks Curtis pies, sausages, cakes and so on. (Curtis is a well-known family chain in Lincolnshire.)
