B&Q has opened its brand-new store at Merry Hill Shopping Centre in Dudley, the 10th new store this year which will employ 22 colleagues.
The new 23,000 square foot B&Q store, located at Merry Hill Shopping Centre in Dudley, has been remodelled and refreshed with B&Q branding and products. It offers a wide range of home improvement essentials, along with a dedicated TradePoint area to meet the needs of local trade professionals.
In addition to over 12,000 essential home improvement products, there’ll be a dedicated timber cutting service, B&Q’s popular Valspar paint mixing service, and a garden centre offering outdoor plants and gardening equipment.
Items in store will be ready for click and collect from as little as 15 minutes and customers will also have access to an additional 22,500 product lines through B&Q’s next-day Click & Collect service.
Colleagues celebrated the opening with live music from the Gershwin Gang, surprise and delight activities for its first customers including a free plant and gift card, a visit from the Dulux dog, and a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by the Deputy Mayor of Dudley, Councillor Mushtaq Hussain.
