Our proud heritage

Founded over 30 years ago in Liverpool, Tony Almond has a reputation for supplying great value gardening, DIY, electrical goods and household items to the people of the UK.

Since then, we’ve been proud to supply our customers with great products at low prices. Along the way we’ve managed not just to live history, but to create it: from merging our two stores to create our £1 million superstore to launching our brand new ecommerce website and lots more in between.

It’s been quite the journey; we invite you to take a look at our proud heritage and learn more about the Tony Almond story.
