Simmons' Exciting 10½-Acre Expansion

After months of hard work, the grand opening of the new-look Simmons super-site, which, at a whopping 10½ acres is the size of 10 football pitches, took place in early March 2005.

Three times bigger than before, with thousands more new and exciting big name product lines to choose from, Simmons is now so huge that it needs two post codes as it spreads from Mansfield into Mansfield Woodhouse.

A company spokesman said: "We put in a lot of hard work during 2004 and are sure our customers will be as pleased with the results as we are.

"We're bigger and better than ever before and expect to go from strength to strength in 2005 thanks to all the improvements we've made as part of the expansion.

"As it's our loyal customers who play such a big part in our success, we decided a treble discount day, with some fantastic prizes up for grabs, was a good way of saying 'thank you', whilst introducing them to their brand-new Simmons at the same time."

Proudly flying the flag as the UK's biggest drive through builders' merchants since its bold expansion, pioneering Simmons is leading the way with landscaping too, with the introduction of the all-new World of Landscaping - one of the largest landscaping exhibitions in the East Midlands.

Set within the Simmons site and brand new for 2005, this unrivalled exhibition boasts dazzling displays, expert advice and a high quality, comprehensive product range, including the finest natural stone imports from across the globe.

So, if you're pondering over patios, crazy about paving or deciding on decking, this eye-catching, inspirational exhibition is an absolute must-see, featuring innovative ideas at a price that's right.

In an industry where size matters, Simmons' awesome facelift cements the company's already enviable position as one of the UK's largest - and most reputable - builders' merchants.
