Screwfix is celebrating the successful launch of its latest store on Snaygill Industrial Estate, BD23 2QR. The new store officially opened its doors on Thursday 6th February with hundreds of eager customers ready to stock up on the latest tools and trade essentials.
The Skipton Screwfix store is part of the company’s growing network of over 650 stores nationwide, meaning 97% of the UK population is within a 30-minute drive of a store. Open seven days a week from 7am Monday to Saturday, the store also provides a convenient Click & Collect service that is 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.
Screwfix’s Skipton Store Manager, Leanne McTavish, said: “We chose to open a new store in Skipton to better meet the needs of the local tradespeople. Many of our new customers previously shopped with Screwfix at our Keighley and Bingley – Crossflats stores, so we’re delighted to bring Screwfix even closer to them for greater convenience.
“Our celebration weekend, which ran from Thursday 6th February until Sunday 9th February, attracted hundreds of customers. We have received fantastic support from local homes and from the local community and are looking forward to supporting more busy tradespeople and serious DIYers in Skipton.”
