HOWDENS KITCHENS REVIEW FOR INDEPENDENT KITCHEN RETAILERS
I ask about prices and she says she couldn't give me any, I point at one of the displays and ask if that one was cheaper than the other one, she said she couldn't tell me as I was not an account holder.
She said if I got my installer to come in she would give prices to them, I said 'I don't have an installer, can you suggest one' to which she said 'no but there were some business cards from fitters near the trade counter'.

Showroom Visit August 2024: My local store is, well, stunning, built in late 2023 it is a beautiful example of a modern fresh retail space. As I walk through the main entrance I’m greeted by an air conditioned and fragranced environment with blacked out ceiling and a lovely plant display with an illuminated ‘welcome’ sign.
Showroom Visit August 2024: My local store is, like most of Wrens stores, set on a busy out of town retail park, the front of this particular store is neat if a little uninviting from the outside but that’s possibly down to this retail park requiring modernising.
In the first showroom, out of courtesy I went over and asked if I could take some photos of the displays to which they had no problem, they did ask if I needed any help and I said I was OK. I acted as a mystery shopper just starting out to get ideas for a new bathroom.
