B&Q launches new store at retail park
Home and garden improvement retailer, B&Q, has opened a new 22,000 sq ft store at Great Eastern Retail Park, Rotherham.
It is B&Q’s first retail park location since opening its Newark store in May 2023, and follows recent small format store openings for the DIY retailer in Brighton and Staines this year.
The latest store is stocked with over 11,000 essential home improvement products.
It also features a dedicated TradePoint area, a timber cutting service, B&Q’s Valspar paint mixing station, WEE recycling, Rug Doctor cleaning hire, a showroom area including the new bathroom range, and a garden centre.
Nicola Pickering, unit manager at the new B&Q Rotherham store, said: “We’re thrilled to open the doors to our brand-new store and welcome the Rotherham community.
“Whether it’s a quick DIY fix, a home improvement project, or supplies for trade professionals, we’re here to meet our customers’ needs all under one roof.
“We’re proud to be part of the Rotherham community and look forward to helping our customers bring their home improvement ideas to life.”
The Mayor of Rotherham, Councillor Sheila Cowen, added: “Rotherham Council has a vision for a fair and prosperous economy that provides chances for everyone to get a good job, or start and grow a business, and plan confidently for the future.
“I’m really pleased to be able to welcome the new B&Q store to Rotherham and the 20 jobs it creates. This is positive news for the town, and I wish the team every success in their new venture.”
