Wickes has officially opened a new store in Leeds today, marking the latest step in the retailer’s continued investment in its store estate. This is the first of four former Homebase locations to be transformed into Wickes stores. Situated at the Moor Allerton Centre in Leeds, the store was formally opened on 6th June by the Lord Mayor Elect of Leeds, Cllr Dan Cohen.

The 35,000 sq ft store has a 4,500 sq ft showroom as well as a Garden Project Centre, offering a wide range of home improvement products for both trade professionals and DIY customers.

The store offers a paint mixing service along with a brand-new bathroom and kitchen showroom, featuring options to suit every budget, all designed to inspire and support customers in creating their dream homes.

In addition, customers can utilise Wickes’ free design service, with expert advice from the store’s Design Consultants, alongside Wickes’ trusted installation service.

The store offers twelve disabled parking spaces and designated large van bays to make shopping as easy as possible for tradespeople. Local customers can also take advantage of delivery straight from the store to nearby areas, with free delivery on orders over £85, plus our convenient Click & Collect service.

To celebrate the opening, all customers can enjoy 15% off in store from 13th - 15th June. Trade customers will find a broad selection of products from trusted brands like Bosch and Dulux Trade to help keep their projects on schedule, while all TradePro members receive a 10% discount every time they shop.

Sarah Taitt, Chief Property & Services Officer at Wickes, said: “We’re proud to be opening our newest store in Leeds on Friday 6th June, bringing quality home improvement products and expert support to the local community. We’re especially pleased to have welcomed 20 former colleagues into new roles with Wickes, while also creating additional job opportunities for people across Leeds. Our team is passionate about helping customers bring their projects to life, with friendly advice and practical know-how. This opening marks an exciting step in our continued commitment to investing in people and local communities.”

The new store will also introduce the Wickes Community Programme to the area, providing local non-profit groups and organisations with access to donated tools and materials to help enhance community spaces.

The new store is located at Moor Allerton Centre, King Lane, Leeds LS17 5NY. Open Monday to Saturday 7am - 8pm and Sunday 10am - 4pm.
