Andrew Page is set to open retail stores for consumers across the UK this year, giving customers access to more than 6,000 different components.

According to the company, each retail store will have a consumer-friendly feel, with knowledgeable staff able to support and advise customers.

The retail outlets follow last month’s announcement that Andrew Page has launched its online store, giving car enthusiasts and home engineers a selection of products from more than 200 brands.

The online store provides users with a click-and-collect service, allowing orders to be collected from any of the 100-plus UK-based Andrew Page branches.

The company is promising excellent levels of stock availability thanks to the company’s central distribution facility holding 140,000sq ft of car parts, with national distribution supported by a fleet of 940 vehicles.

“We are always looking at ways to reach our customers more effectively and these retail stores – in conjunction with the online shop – are a great way to achieve that,” said Mark Saunders, Andrew Page chief executive.

“We plan to provide exclusive launch offers, supported through local advertising campaigns including online promotions and social media. At the core though, these stores have the same values that Andrew Page always has, and provide customers with the same high-quality service.”
