Celebrating 7 Years of HBH Woolacotts’ Plymouth Superstore!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This September, HBH Woolacotts\u2019 Plymouth Superstore celebrates a significant milestone \u2013 its 7th anniversary! Located at Coypool Retail Park in Plympton, just off the A38, our flagship store has been serving the Plymouth community and beyond since its grand opening in September 2017. And what a journey it’s been!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Legacy of Excellence in Plymouth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although our Plymouth Superstore has only been open for seven years, HBH Woolacotts’ presence in Plymouth goes back much further. We\u2019ve been a part of the city\u2019s retail landscape since 1990, when we opened the UK\u2019s very first Panasonic Store on Cornwall Street in the city centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later, the Plymouth Sony Centre became another landmark on Cornwall Street. These stores played a key role in our story, but as shopping habits evolved, we recognized the growing demand for larger, out-of-town stores that offer customers more space, variety, and the convenience of ample parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vision for a New Kind of Store<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With this shift in mind, we sought the perfect location to bring a new kind of shopping experience to Plymouth. After the success of our first \u201cHBH Woolacotts \u2013 Electrical Superstore\u201d in St Austell in 2012, we were confident that a similar concept would thrive in Plymouth. When B&Q made the decision to reduce its number of stores in the area and a looming Brexit vote created uncertainty in the retail market, we seized the opportunity to open on Coypool Retail Park. The decision to launch our largest store yet paid off\u2014and as they say, the rest is history!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
