Wickes has officially opened its new store in Colne Nelson today (25th September), marking the second store opening of the year and the latest step in the retailer’s continued investment in its store network. The new store was opened by the Mayor of Pendle, Cllr. Nadeem Ahmed.

The new store features a 30,100 sq ft ground floor and a dedicated 3,990 sq ft showroom. The Kitchen and Bathroom showroom showcases an all-new display designed to inspire every home project, whatever the budget. Customers can explore a wide range of products, including solar panels and a paint mixing service. The store also features rooftop solar panels to help improve energy efficiency.

In-store Design Consultants are on hand to provide Wickes’ free Kitchen and Bathroom design service, helping customers plan with confidence, while the trusted Wickes installation service ensures a smooth finish. Customers can also make use of 15-minute Click & Collect and the new Rapid Delivery service, offering the convenience of having local orders delivered directly to their door within three hours, seven days a week, for an additional £6 delivery fee.

To celebrate the launch, customers can enjoy 15% off in-store from 9th to 11th October. Local trade professionals can stock up on a wide range including timber, power tools, and cement, from trusted names such as Bosch, Blue Circle, and Knauf, with TradePro members saving 10% on every purchase alongside exclusive perks, fuel savings, and ongoing rewards. 

Kate Thompson, Head of Property at Wickes, said: “We’re thrilled to open our second new store of the year in Colne, bringing trusted home improvement products and expert advice to the local community. We’re also delighted to welcome 20 new colleagues to the Wickes team and proud to be creating more jobs in the area. Our knowledgeable team is on hand to help customers plan, shop, and complete their home projects with confidence, whether they’re visiting our new showroom, using paint mixing, or taking advantage of our wide range of delivery services.”

The Wickes Community Programme is launching alongside our new Colne store, providing local charities and community groups with donated tools and materials to improve community spaces. 

So far, they've supported Colne Citadel, whose mission is to reduce social isolation and improve community wellbeing, with a donation of 2 tubs of white paint and 17 packs of oak laminate flooring. This will help revamp their two therapy rooms, so they can continue providing free, unlimited counselling to over 350 local people every year.
