Exclusive: Wickes boss ‘curious’ about high street DIY store concept
Wickes chief executive David Wood says he is “curious” about the idea of high street DIY shops, a concept currently being trialled by competitors B&Q and Ikea.
The home and DIY boss told Retail Week that, although he had no current plans to open a high street location, he was interested in the concept and would not rule it out in the future.
B&Q unveiled its 3,000 sq ft B&Q Local in London earlier this year, while Ikea opened its third Ikea Plan and Order store in Stockport earlier this month.
