B&Q store to re-open

Mon, 27 Apr 2020

B&Q will re-open its store on the Island tomorrow as the DIY giant learns lessons from other essential retailers who have stayed open using social distancing.

A statement on its social media blog said: “Similar to shopping at supermarkets, we’ve introduced social distancing controls at our re-opened stores.

“We’re strictly limiting the number of customers in store at any one time, and so you may find you need to queue if you visit the store.

“To help remind everyone to respect each other’s personal space, we have two metre floor markers throughout the store and also perspex screens at our checkouts.”

Instore services such as kitchen and bathroom design, paint mixing, timber cutting and key cutting are not available.
