Home Improvement Stores
Written by: William R. Nabaza of http://www.nabaza.com/homeimpr.htm
On every high street and every shopping centre there is at least
one home improvement store. They cater for everything from nuts
and screws to designer bathrooms! They offer a wide range of
services and they are reasonably cheap. There are lots of
different types of these stores as well, there are the larger
more general stores and there are the family based home run type
of stores.
The larger stores are able to sell their goods a lot cheaper
than the smaller stores as they buy in bulk and that allows the
customer to make a much larger saving. People tend to turn to
larger home improvement stores when they are shopping for larger
items such as fitted kitchens and bedrooms. They sell everything
from tiles, glass, hardware, materials and much, much more.
Larger home improvement stores are built like large warehouses
and are usually staffed by around 100 people or so.
The smaller home improvement stores usually tend to be called
DIY (Do it yourself) stores. The don't offer the larger items
like the new kitchens and so on, but they offer great quality
and great service as they are a family run business and have
more of a personal touch with the customer. Their items may be a
little bit more expensive than a large store but that is because
they cannot buy in bulk as they could never store or sell it on.
Many people who use smaller home improvement stores tend to
stick with them for all their hardware needs and don't tend to
shop around, this is because they love the service and get on
great with the shop keepers. These kind of stores have only
about 2-5 staff working there, because of the fact the store
does not have too much business, unless is it very well known
and loved.
If you want a personal touch and a laugh with the store keepers
then choose a smaller home improvement store as the larger ones
offer rows of tills and workers that are all generic and never
seem to have an expression on their face, also the staff don't
always know what they are talking about. Smaller stores offer
great knowledge as they are owned by actual tradesman and not
some big shot executive. I'm not saying that larger home
improvement stores are bad, they are not. They are just a bit
plain. They may be cheaper but going to a smaller store is well
worth the money!
