Australian hardware giant Bunnings is throwing open the doors to its first-ever UK store tomorrow.
The hardware chain opened in St Albans to 600 friends and family on Sunday and will open to the public tomorrow.
And the famous 'Bunnings sausage sizzle', a sausage wrapped in a slice of white bread with tomato sauce (and onion if you're lucky), is sure to be on the menu.
The new store is expected to focus largely on gardening products.
Homebase Bunnings managing director Peter Davis told Retail Week last year the former Homebase store's mezzanine would be removed and a larger canopy added to accommodate the new Bunnings.
Mr Davis said the store would hold about 40 per cent more stock keeping units than a traditional Homebase store, and employ an additional 30 members of staff.
A cafe, a children’s playground and a training area for both staff and customers have also been planned.
According to a report from The Guardian, Bunnings bought the Homebase chain in a $700 million (£565 million) deal in 2016, and plans to convert all the stores.
