LUTON, UK. January 15th, 2026 – ITS, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of tools, workwear and equipment for trade professionals, has announced plans to open a brand-new store in Luton, creating new local jobs and strengthening its commitment to supporting tradespeople in the area.
The new branch, located on Bilton Way, is scheduled to open its doors on Saturday 7th March, bringing ITS’ well-known combination of expert advice, competitive pricing and strong stock availability to the local community.
The Luton store forms part of ITS’ continued investment in bricks-and-mortar retail, complementing its growing online business while ensuring tradespeople have access to local, face-to-face support when they need it.
The opening of the new Luton branch has already led to the creation of a number of new local roles, with further opportunities expected as the store becomes established.
ITS says it is focused on recruiting locally, providing training and long-term career opportunities within the business.
“This isn’t just about opening another store — it’s about investing in the local area,” said Paul Hubbard, Director at ITS.
“We want to create jobs, support local trades, and become a genuine part of the Luton business community.”
ITS says its Luton branch will offer something noticeably different from traditional trade counters, with a strong focus on hands-on browsing and product choice.
Unlike many trade retailers, where stock is largely kept behind the counter or in racking, the new store will feature a huge number of tools and products out on open display, allowing customers to see, compare and explore before they buy.
There will be a wide range of leading tool brands on display to get hands on with, including dedicated ‘Power Zones’ for Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita and Bosch.
The store will also stock workwear, storage, hand tools and site essentials like electrical and landscaping equipment. There will be click and collect services for online orders and knowledgeable staff with real trade experience will be on hand to help with buying decisions and questions.
“The easiest way to describe it, is that it’s a big toy shop — but for tradespeople,” Paul Hubbard added.
“There’s far more out on display than you’d typically see in a trade store, which makes it easier for customers to discover new tools, compare options and leave with exactly what they need.”
The location has been chosen to improve convenience for trades across Luton and the surrounding areas. A great location helps to reduce downtime and travel time for busy professionals, stopping them from straying too far away from builders’ merchants where they buy materials.
ITS says the new store reflects a long-term commitment to the region, not a short-term expansion.
“We see huge potential in Luton and the surrounding area,” added Paul Hubbard.
“There’s a strong trade presence here, and we’re excited to support local businesses, contractors and sole traders with a store that’s built around how they actually want to shop.”
The new ITS Luton store is scheduled to open on Saturday 7th March. Further details about the opening event, special offers and community activity will be announced closer to the date.
