Wrexham’s QD reopen its doors to shoppers next week

QD stores is set to open its Wrexham store next week as part of the company’s final stage of its phased re-opening of branches across the country.

The store, which sells a wide range of food, pet and convenience items, as well as homewares, and household and garden items, has been re-opening a number of its stores since the middle of May.

QD in Wrexham will reopen its doors to shoppers on Wednesday 8th July.

Group operations director, Karl Ottolangui, said: “We are delighted to be able to reopen in Wrexham and to welcome our customers back.

” Over the past few weeks, we have been gradually re-opening stores to gauge demand and to ensure that we are creating a safe environment that our customers feel confident to shop in.

“We have had very encouraging feedback from our customers and from our staff, and we can’t wait to reopen in Wrexham.”

Karl Ottolangui continued: “Our teams have been working extremely hard with our suppliers to source stock from all over the world and to get it distributed to each store. Our in-store teams, meanwhile have been ensuring that the shelves are ready for our returning customers.”

Social distancing measures are in place to ensure all staff and customers are kept safe and customers can shop in confidence. These all follow best practice and the advice of the government and the British Retail Consortium.

The Wrexham store has created a designated queuing area outside the entrance. Markers are being placed at two metre intervals to help customers respect each other’s personal space.

It also has two metre floor markers inside, and all checkouts are provided with protective plastic screens.

Paul Bentley, manager at QD in Wrexham, said: “It is wonderful to be able to see and serve our customers again. We have everything in place to ensure that customers will be able to shop in a safe environment and they will receive a warm welcome from all of us.

“We will be asking everyone to bear with us if they have to queue, and to obey the social distancing procedures we have in place, as we are limiting the number of customers in the store at any one time.

“There are cleaning stations for our trolleys, we’re encouraging contactless or card payments and asking customers to shop alone if at all possible.”
