Clitheroe New Screwfix Store is Declared a Runaway Success

Screwfix is celebrating the successful launch of its new store opening in Barrow Brook Trade Park, North Road, BB7 9QZ. The store officially opened its doors on Thursday 1st November 2018 with hundreds of eager customers ready to stock-up on the latest tools and trade essentials.

The Clitheroe Screwfix store is part of the company’s growing network of over 600 stores nationwide, meaning 97% of the UK population is within a 30-minute drive of a store. Open seven days a week and from 7am Monday to Friday, the store also provides a convenient, Click & Collect service available at all Screwfix locations.  Using this service, customers can order their goods online or over the phone and pick them up from a store in as little as one minute.

Clitheroe Screwfix Store Manager, Paul Holden, said: “We chose to open a new store in Barrow, just outside of Clitheroe to better meet the needs of the local tradespeople. Many of our new customers previously shopped with Screwfix at our stores in Accrington or Burnley, so we’re delighted to bring Screwfix even closer to them for greater convenience.

“Our celebration period, which ran from Thursday 1st November and throughout the weekend until Sunday 4th November, attracted hundreds of customers. We have received fantastic support from the local homes or community facilities and are looking forward to welcoming and helping more tradespeople and serious DIYers over the coming months.”
