Finding your way around a DIY store
Do It Yourself, or DIY stores, are very popular now. While every store is different, they all have some things in common. For a start, they are set out in sections. Sections are broken into aisles or lanes. And aisles have labels so you can quickly find what you' re looking for.
When you go into a DIY store and look up, you will see large signs overhead. Each section of the shop has a different sign. So, you may see signs for plumbing, electrical goods, decorating and gardening.
Each section is usually divided into one or more aisles, or lanes. For example the Plumbing section may have aisles for heating, drains and bathroom fittings.
In each aisle, you will see labels for specific things. So, the heating aisle in plumbing may have labels for things like radiators, valves and tools.
If you need help in finding what you want, you can go to the customer service desk and a member of staff will be happy to help you.
