I went to one of my B & Q' s today. Its one where a competitor who I recently bought out had sited a tower next to mine. I told the customer service desk I was going to remove one tower as it seemed pointless me filling two. The lady really didnt want me to take it away. Good news, its a great site!!!!

Not the good one

Does this mean all b&q sites will be lost as nobody seem to be giving any info on this

Head office have sent a memo out to all stores asking them to be removed. If you are still in there (and I have 1) I guess that means the branch has a rubbish manager who doesnt read the emails properly.

As Andy has said, if you have not been asked to remove then don't, but don't be surprised if you are asked to remove at a later stage.

I am aware that some branches have complained to Head Office where more than one tower is on site and the problem has arisen where there has been a single tower on site then another turns up, then a Pringles tower has turned up from different operators. This has resulted in the original operator questioning why there are duplicate machines on site and the Managers don't have a clue why! Due to this happening many times throughout the UK Head Office have requested that all are removed.

Operators should learn from this, sites like B & Q are gold dust and poaching/doubling up will result in everyone losing out eventually. This goes for any other location too. I don't blame the suppliers, I blame the operators who put them there. For those for whom I do sites for, they know I have a policy of not placing a tower into a site if there is one already there and I will replace it.
