MKM’s new home showroom will open its doors in Hull this weekend.
The high specification retail outlet launches following the leading independent builders’ merchant’s acquisition of fellow city business Brooke Ceramics.
It has been described as a “game-changing retail space,” and is aiming to capitalise on a growing number of post-pandemic self-build projects while serving its strong trade following.

Kate Tinsley, chief executive of MKM, said: “We are thrilled to be opening the doors of MKM Home to the public. The showroom is a really exciting step forward in our offering to homeowners and tradespeople alike across Hull and the East Riding, and we can’t wait for people to see these stunning displays for themselves.
“Especially designed to give homeowners a retail experience like no other, the showroom features a host of dynamic displays to inspire customers with their next home improvement project.”
The showroom can be found on the city’s Stoneferry Road, close to MKM’s central support office, and opens on Saturday.
It has been substantially extended since it launched in the original setting in November.
