B&Q opens tomorrow

The opening of the Island's B&Q has been pushed forward.

The retailer says "Having watched other essential retailers support social distancing in their stores, we are now in a position to follow best practice and re-open some stores, while keeping our colleagues and customers safe."

Now B&Q Isle of Man will re-open tomorrow - its opening times are 8am - 5pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sundays.

It says "Only products  you can shop and takeaway in store on the day are available. However, services such as kitchen and bathroom design, paint mixing, timber cutting and key cutting are not available for the time being. Currently, we are only accepting card and contact-less payments."

It's implemented social distancing controls such as limiting the number of customers in store at any one time.

It comes after the chain stated this morning it's UK stores were expected to open early next month.
