ITS to Open New Luton Store
ITS, one of the UK’s top suppliers of tools, workwear and equipment for trade professionals, has announced plans to open a new store in Luton.
The new branch, located on Bilton Way, is scheduled to open its doors on Saturday 7 March, bringing ITS’ well-known combination of expert advice, competitive pricing and strong stock availability to the local community.
The Luton store forms part of ITS’ continued investment in bricks-and-mortar retail, complementing its growing online business while ensuring tradespeople have access to local, face-to-face support when they need it.
Job creation
The opening of the new Luton branch has already led to the creation of a number of new local roles, with further opportunities expected as the store becomes established. ITS says it is focused on recruiting locally, providing training and long-term career opportunities within the business.
“This isn’t just about opening another store, it’s about investing in the local area,” says Paul Hubbard, a director at ITS. We want to create jobs, support local trades and become a genuine part of the Luton business community.”
To be seen
ITS says its Luton branch will offer something noticeably different from traditional trade counters, with a strong focus on hands-on browsing and product choice.
Unlike many trade retailers, where stock is largely kept behind the counter or in racking, the new store will feature a huge number of tools and products out on open display, allowing customers to see, compare and explore before they buy.
There will be a wide range of tool brands on display to get hands on with, including dedicated ‘Power Zones’ for Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita and Bosch.
The store will also stock workwear, storage, hand tools and site essentials such as electrical and landscaping equipment. There will be click and collect services for online orders and knowledgeable staff with real trade experience will be on hand to help with buying decisions and questions.
