Toolstation is celebrating its 20th year since opening for business in 2003.
To kick start the celebrations Toolstation has headed back to Bristol Whiteladies Road where it all began, with the landmark store being the first to open within the business.
Earlier this week store colleagues and customers were surprised with a commemorative cake hand-delivered by popular trade professional partners and radio hosts The Bald Builders. The cake was designed in recognition of Toolstation’s product catalogue, which has been a staple of the business since being founded, with the 95th edition recently launching in January
As part of their surprise visit, The Bald Builders also put up a commemorative plaque acknowledging it as the site of the first Toolstation store, which can be located outside the front entrance.
Brad Hanson and Sam Hughes from The Bald Builders said: “We had a really enjoyable day going to Toolstation Bristol Whiteladies Road where it all began 20 years ago. We’re incredibly excited to see what the next 20 years bring and no doubt Toolstation will continue to provide their customers with great value and quality.”
The store is also set to be hosting a trade show between the 15 and 28 February, in which customers are set to have the chance to meet some of Toolstation’s suppliers that have joined the business in the last 20 years, including DeWalt, Milwaukee, Google, Wilo, KitchenKit and more.
Over the course of the two weeks attendees are set to receive free product demonstrations from the suppliers. The trade event is set to start on the 15 February with representatives from DeWalt and finish on the 28 February with representatives from Fluidmaster and Salamander.
