SCREWFIX is celebrating officially opening the doors to its Leicester Street business in Northwich.

The store is situated to the rear of the Northwich Glass premises, and is part of the company’s nationwide store expansion plan.

Store manager Gaz Evans said: “We chose to open a new store in Northwich because it’s a growing town with a great trade presence.

“Many of our customers already shopped with us at our Altrincham and Irlam stores, and are delighted to see us here as they no longer have to travel so far.

“Our celebration period attracted hundreds of customers, and we are looking forward to welcoming many more people over the coming months.

“We have received fantastic support from the community, it has been extremely exciting that we have already attracted repeat business and we are all enjoying getting to know new customers.”

The company is looking to become actively involved with local charities through its registered charity arm, The Screwfix Foundation, which supports local charities and community projects with donations for projects involving fixing, repairing or maintaining buildings.

Screwfix staff get involved in helping community projects and host charity fundraising events in the stores.

Local registered charities are welcome to apply for funding from The Screwfix Foundation, and can visit Northwich Screwfix to pick up a leaflet for more information or download an application form from screwfixfoundation.com
