Hydraulics & pneumatics supermarket
27 December 2014
Parker Hannifin, in partnership with distributor Hopespare, has opened the first London ParkerStore – creating the first self-serve supermarket for hydraulics and pneumatics products in the capital.

The new store, run by Hopespare at Woodall Road, Enfield feels more like a traditional DIY shop than a trade counter. Products are organised into categories and part numbers, which means customers can browse at leisure for items such as air brake parts, couplers and filters.
There’s an in-store ‘while-you-wait’ hose assembly service, so people can take a seat, enjoy a drink and watch their product being made. All store staff have received the British Fluid Power Association’s skills training programme and are qualified to assemble a hose correctly and safely.
