Screwfix are more like a drop-in wearhouse than a store which you can browse. Most people would look on online then go there to collect the item.

Recently booted out of the FTSE 100. 
B&Q and Screwfix parent company Kingfisher has been relegated from the FTSE 100 following a quarterly reshuffle of the sought-after stock market ranking.
