screwfix @scunthorpe

I noticed there's one opening in Bradford soon too...

Where abouts in Bradford? I wonder if they have any plans for opening one in Leeds, I have asked them but they just said they are always looking at new areas.

East Bowling, Bradford 4, in the old Co-op building[1] on Wakefield road, just below the "Gallopers" pub, I think it used to be a pine furniture outlet. The signs are up outside, saying "Screwfix here soon" or whatever..

And if they both are like the new Doncaster branch do not expect them to stock much.

I can't really understand why Screwfix need retail outlets, It's all the kingfisher group, so B&Q for those who want to browse and Screwfix for mail order, surely any sales from Screwfix retail outlets will be at the expense of the others. Plus extra overheads = higher prices :-(

Julian.

Cornering the market i.e. B&Q + Screwfix = higher prices

Have you noticed their prices for silicone which USED to be 50% of the cost from Wickes - no longer!

I was hammered for a pressure washer at Screwfix that was considerably cheaper from Argos.

Don't assume Screwfix price = OK any longer!
