A new hardware store is to open at the Locks Heath Shopping Village.
D&G Hardware is being kitted out with everything from screws and light bulbs to compost ready to open its doors by the end of this week.
With stores in Winchester, Chandlers Ford and Guildford, owner Toby Roberts is delighted to add the Locks Heath shop to their success to provide residents a range of garden and household supplies.
“We’re an old fashioned simple business that’s good at what we do,” he said. “Locks Heath is perfect for us because we’re a local business and we end up becoming good friends with our customers.
“I would hope by the end of the week we’ll be up and running.
“I’m incredibly passionate about it and we’re pleased to be able to have the opportunity to open in Locks Heath.”
