The Tool Box, the Aladdin’s cave of DIY goodies run by Imran Asghar with his brother and father, is moving to a new location further down the High Street.
The shop will be moving into a larger shop next door to Phone Fix, a hundred metres towards Snaresbrook Station. There was previously a clothes shop at the site.
The brothers are turning their existing premises into a grocery shop, selling organic fruit and vegetables, and organic/free range meat, specialising in marinated options. It will be called Daniyal’s.
The Asghars have won a loyal customer base thanks to them having nearly everything you could want in stock, and also because of their friendliness and customer service.
Imran said: “We’re really pleased to announce our new venture. Seven years in and Wanstead has become a home to myself. We’re looking forward to moving Tool Box to the new premises. I’m also looking forward to ‘Daniyal’s’ being received the same way once we’re ready.”
Brother Nasir said: “I’m really excited with the new project. I have 15 years of experience & will be bringing a head butcher with over 30 years of experience. Customer service & quality will always be top of my priorities.”
Good for them. Alongside the pet shop, one of the two most useful shops in Wanstead.
Fantastic idea. It’s a really useful shop.
I like this shop, they have everything it seems. I once bought a book on Fly Fishing by J.R. Hartley. It was rather old.
Just heard this from Imran yesterday. So excited for them, and for the way they’ve been thinking creatively about their business goals.
