Screwfix City Builds on Ultimate Convenience in London
Screwfix City stores are based in high footfall areas and provide the essential products customers need to get their jobs done . City stores offer a range of more than 3,000 essential products via Click and Collect with a further 31,000 available online for next day collection .
Following initial tests of the ultra-compact stores , Screwfix has recently opened a further six City stores across London , including in Islington , Camden , Dulwich and more . Screwfix plans to have up to 20 in total by the end of 2024 , including the first stores in cities outside of London , and aims to open up to 100 over the next few years .
Screwfix Sprint , the rapid delivery service that provides products on site or at home in 60 minutes or less , is also available from City stores and the retailer is also seeing a demand from customers utilising the award-winning service from these locations too . Screwfix UK and ROI Managing Director Max Britten said : “ We know how busy our customers are , and we understand the challenges they face in cities , such as getting a parking space on the job or having to down tools for an emergency product only to spend time stuck in traffic . With our Screwfix City stores , we ’ ve been able to launch an exciting new format that works in different locations to our traditional stores .”
