B&Q has reopened its Gainsborough store

The stores were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic but the decision has been made to allow them to reopen as people are using this time to do home improvements and DIY.

The reopened stores include Gainsborough as well as others in the county.

Graham Bell, chief executive officer of B&Q, said: “Our highest priority is to keep our colleagues safe at work and our customers safe while shopping.

“In all our stores, we have strict social distancing measures in place.

“Customers are adhering to these, helping us to offer a shopping environment that is safe for everyone, while we help them to look after their homes and gardens, as well as their wellbeing.

“Whether shopping in our stores or online, we continue to ask all our customers to follow the Government’s social distancing guidelines and to shop responsibly only when they need to.”
