Homebase is reopening all its outlets from tomorrow with strict social distancing measures in place.
The DIY retail business will open the shutters on all 164 of its stores across the country after they were closed in March.
While Homebase is considered an "essential retailer" and therefore could have stayed open, the decision was made to shut to protect staff.
Last week Homebase opened 20 stores as a trial, with 50 following on Wednesday once that had proved succesful.
From tomorrow all Homebases will be back up and running.
Chief executive, Damian McGloughlin, said a lot of hard work had gone in to ensure it could “safely welcome customers back through our doors”.
Some key services will not be offered such as kitchen design appointments and key cutting.
The reserve and collect services, as well as carpet cleaner hire, will also not be running.
Homebase opens at 10am on Sunday and closes at 4pm.
On weekdays and Saturdays it stays open for an hour longer.
Homebase is not the only DIY store which is welcoming customers back inside.
