“So, we decided to open our shop. But we will provide you the safest way to come and purchase your required things.”.
However, we restricted the number of people who entered the shop. Only limited people will be there. And in all our physical stores in the UK, US, and Europe, we introduced the markers on the checkouts to maintain the social distancing.
And during the lockdown, you can also order our products on our website. Just click and get the products on your doorsteps. But click the product on the website and pick it from our store is not available during these days.
B&Q Paint also announced that they are providing contactless home delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And the service directly to customer care is also available. But we warn you first that wait until you get the confirmation news of your product.

Furthermore, they said that all the stores of JD Sports are shut down all over the UK, Europe, and also the United States.
