Toolstation Boston will launch on Monday, June 28, based in Lister Way, off one of the roundabouts that serves Asda.

The business offers what it describes as ‘a wide range of leading brands and trade-quality products’. It operates a multi-channel service, meaning customers can purchase items from stores directly or via a click-and-collect service.

Store manager Trudy Giggs said: “We are pleased to be opening the new store and supporting local tradespeople, DIYers and home builders with tools and more in Boston.”

“Our knowledgeable team are committed to providing local customers with a reliable and convenient service for the essentials they need to tackle any task,” Trudy added.

Toolstation was established in 2003 and is one of the UK’s fastest growing retailers of its type – it already has branches in Skegness, Sleaford, Bourne, Louth, Grantham, and Lincoln.

Customer satisfaction ratings surveyed by Which? has seen it recognised as top Online Retailer in the DIY & Decorating category for six years running, and top High Street Retailer in the DIY category in both 2017 and 2018, achieving the full five stars for range, products and value for money. In both 2016 and 2017, it was also named overall Retailer of the Year by Which? at its awards and shortlisted in 2018.

The store opening follows the launch of Toolstation’s new brand messaging ‘Tools and More’ earlier in the year, which aims to appeal to tradespeople and knowledgeable DIYers.

Another initiative for 2021 is a new Trade Credit account, which aims to further support trade customers.

In relation to Covid-19, it says ‘the safety and wellbeing of Toolstation’s colleagues, customers and communities remains the top priority’.

“The stores operate with clear social distancing guidelines with a dedicated colleague monitoring the door and queuing system, and all colleagues will be provided with PPE,” a spokesman said.

Toolstation Boston will be open seven days a week, from 7am to 8pm Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm Saturday and 9am to 4pm Sundays.
