Online rumours suggesting Screwfix will open in Congleton are true.

The UK's largest retailer of trade tools have confirmed their interest in a statement to Congleton Nub News.

"We are delighted to bring Screwfix closer to even more customers and look forward to welcoming busy tradespeople to our new store in Congleton later this year," a spokesperson said.

"As we continue to grow our store network we will announce details about each new store, including planned dates for opening, in due course.

"Customers can find the up-to-date store information on Screwfix.com."

The site of the new store remains unknown.

Screwfix would not respond to social media claims that they will occupy the former Congleton town centre Aldi building, which has been vacant for almost six months on Mountbatten Way, CW12 1DL, and will be split into three separate retail units.
