Home improvement retailer Wickes has today opened a new store in Long Eaton as part of the ongoing investment into its store estate. Located on Nottingham Road, Long Eaton, the new development was officially opened by Mayor of Erewash, Frank Phillips with the support of local Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club star Ben Duckett, and bowler for Blaze cricket team Lucy Higham, on 22nd March 2024.
The 21,000 sq. ft. space will offer a range of home improvement products for both trade professionals and customers looking to improve their own homes.
With a mezzanine showroom, the store will feature a new bathroom selection centre and various room sets to help customers plan their dream home. In addition, customers can utilise Wickes free design service, with expert advice from the stores Design Consultants, alongside Wickes’ trusted installation service.
The store also includes a paint mixing station, an outdoor project centre and two dedicated 30-miunute Click & Collect spaces to make the shopping process easy for customers. Shoppers will also be able to get free delivery on orders over £85.
What’s more, the Long Eaton store will be offering customers a 15% discount from the 29th March to the 31st March.
"As a digitally led, service-enabled retailer, we are delighted to be bringing Wickes’ expert advice, services and knowledgeable staff to Long Eaton. Offering an extensive range of home improvement products, we look forward to meeting our new customers from 22nd March."

The new store will also bring the Wickes Community Programme to the area, offering non-profit groups and organisations access to donations of tools and materials to help improve local spaces. And the programme has already been hard at work as colleagues from the new store helped decorate changing rooms at the Attenborough Cricket Club using donated paint.
The new store is located at 56 Nottingham Road, Long Eaton, Nottingham NG10 2AU. Open Monday to Friday 7am - 8pm, Saturday 7am - 7pm and Sunday 10am - 4pm.
