Hancocks expands Watford store

Hancocks is expanding its Watford store, adding 600 sq ft of extra selling space and more than 50 new lines.

The extra space will allow the store to hold more volume across key categories including pick and mix, cables, mallows, kids, novelty and seasonal items. Among these will be products aimed at sellers operating at fairgrounds and at the seaside.

The depot will also have a dedicated area for clearance stock, which is new to the Watford store.

Customers will see heavily discounted prices on products including crisps and snacks, which previously haven’t been stocked by the depot, and lower prices on branded chocolates and drinks.

The depot will also be introducing WOW deals, with low prices on key brands.

The Watford branch of Hancocks has been in the town for over 20 years, serving around 200 customers a week from all over London, as well as Norfolk, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Hampshire and the Midlands.

The depot also supplies customers in the Bahamas, United States, Bahrain, Hong Kong and Europe.

Alex Brammer, manager of Hancocks in Watford, said: “The expansion of the store is great news for retailers from London and further afield who purchase their confectionery from this depot.

“Whether they shop in store or via click and collect, availability will be even better thanks to the additional space we have to hold products, and there will be exciting new lines for them to choose from.

“We have a wide mix of customers shopping with us here ranging from traditional sweet shops and convenience stores to funfairs, TikTok stars and repackers.”
