Shirebrook DIY store re-opens
Published: 30 January 2017 - Jenny Wonnacott
Jephsons DIY, the independent DIY store in the north-east Derbyshire market town of Shirebrook which closed down last autumn, is back in business - with a new name, and a new owner.
Shirebrook DIY is now open with more than 5,000 products on offer
New owner Ammar Ali has taken over the store after learning the trade in his father's shop, Carlton DIY of Nottingham, and is trading as Shirebrook DIY, Home & Garden. The store re-opened on January 16.
Mr Ali told DIY Week that he intends to continue the business much as before, but with more competitive pricing. He has already installed a new plumbing section, and is planning to apply for BIRA membership.
The shop has re-opened with more than 5,000 different products on offer including ironmongery, homewares, tools, electrical goods, decorating products, timber and building materials as well as a gardening section.
