Bargain Buy Homebase stores for only 5p each !

All 200+ Homebase stores are being sold for just £1, that's less than 5p each.

Bunnings pulls out of Britain after $1.4bn disaster

 

We just cross posted @Scrungee

 

Sounds like a load more 'clearance' bargains on the way when they convert the new Bunnings stores back to Homebases, then yet again when they shut them down.

Another load of seemingly endless misery for their staff, Bunnings have wrecked things for them and their customers.

 

Homebase owner 'to close 60 stores'

 

Such a badly run store. Mine is anyway. More clearance bargains to jeep an eye out for Scrungee

 

You could have had a whole airport for not a lot more (£1) Our beloved government decided to buy it and since then it has been running at a catastrophic loss. They bought it for Scotland's new RAF so I was told but may not be true...slight snag the vote was a no to independence. Even if it had been a yes we would probably have only had a couple of drones and a few left overs from ww2 to make up the force....sigh.

 

Homebase stores to close....... will that mean yet more flats being built in their place?

 

What with all those stores closing and the Bunnings ones having lots of different stock to the Homebase stores there might be a massive clear out. Worth keeping a watch on your local store(s)/online.



But then we're forever left with fewer DIY/garden stores, reduced choice, and possibly further to travel. Plus all those staff who're going to lose their jobs. Anybody still remember Focus/Do it All?

Having said that, I needed 2 indentically keyed padlocks with several keys last week, spent ages looking unsuccessfully in Homebase, B&Q, Wickes, Wilko, etc. and couldn't find anything decent, so ordered from Amazon to collect next day from local post office 4 mins walk from home.

 

I understand Wickes ( part of the Travis Perkins builders merchants group ) are also struggling.
Why are all the retail park DIY stores struggling , does nobody DIY these days ?
I tend to use Screwfix , local timber yard , Crown decorating centre and Ebay for 90% of my DIY needs.
