Wickes and B&Q

Post by Vendition Ltd »

Does anyone have any towers on Held For Heroes in Wicked. b&Q or Homebase DIY shops? They sometimes have sit on rides and toy machines but wondered if anyone managed to get a tower in there?

Use to have a tower in B&Q and homebase. The area manager had it taken out at b&q averages were £75 a month, so was gutted and the one in homebase got nicked as it was placed just inside the exits. They had no cctv but found the machine trashed in a bush around the corner!!

i tried the homebases around me and were all crap, once bought a tower off someone in a homebase but was too far away so I pulled it out. was pretty much empty but no idea how long the guy had left it.

Had a B&Q staff room really crap, took it out. Had a Homebase staff room with Pringles and sweets. Did really well but got kicked out because the vending machine supplier complained his takings had gone down.
