Toolstation is set to open 13 more stores in the next month, on track to meet its expansion plan of 60 new stores in 2020.
The new stores which will be opening in Launceston, Llandrindod Wells, Walthamstow, York, Dumbarton, Peterlee, Fraserburgh, Colne, Speke, Wednesbury, Malvern, Shepton Mallet and Bideford, will create over 100 new permanent jobs across the stores and their supporting supply chain.
This year, Toolstation already opened 47 other stores across the UK, creating over 500 jobs to date.
James Mackenzie, Managing Director, commented: "This year has been a year like no other and I am proud of both colleagues and customers that have played their part in continuing to build Britain. As part of the critical supply chain for construction, we have continued in our commitment to provide tools and more for our customers and create job opportunities in the local communities we operate.
"We adapted our business model exceptionally quickly during the first lockdown to meet customer needs and they have really embraced the new way of buying through our 5 minute Click & Collect service. We remain on track to open 60 new stores by the end of 2020 and will continue our ambition to open a further 60 stores in 2021.”
