D&G Hardware owner Toby Roberts said despite a few supplies missing from their shelves, he and colleague Sharon Nicholson were happy to provide residents with a range of garden and household supplies when they opened on Saturday (April 20).
“It was just a great day,” he said. “Sharon and I were both overwhelmed by everyone’s enthusiasm and sheer delight that Locks Heath has a Hardware Store again.
“Clearly Locks Heath is either populated with, or is visited by, delightful people with a passion for shopping locally.
“Over the next week or so we are expecting deliveries from many of our suppliers for important parts of our usual stock holding that did not make our opening.”
There are also D&G Hardware stores in Winchester, Chandlers Ford and Guildford.
