Hancocks has announced that it is reopening some of its stores - and one of them is in Watford.
The confectionery wholesaler revealed on twitter that it will open its store in Colonial Way from tomorrow (May 18), along with two other stores across the UK after being closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
It comes after the cash and carry wholesaler put in new social distancing measures to trial open one of its stores in Manchester earlier this month.
And following the "successful" trial opening, Hancocks will now open three further stores in Watford, Birmingham and Glasgow tomorrow.
The chain says that the stores will reopen in line with social distancing guidelines.
They will also open for reduced hours between 10am - 4pm, Monday to Friday. The stores will not open at the weekend.
We're pleased to say we will be re-opening our Birmingham, Glasgow and Watford stores on Monday 18th May. 😃 These will be open on reduced hours, Mon to Fri, 10am – 4pm. We will continue to open more stores over the coming months in line with social distancing guidelines pic.twitter.com/TP6Ux35VBq
