It’s one of Australia’s most trusted retail brands and now the UK are set to get their own taste of it.
Bunnings has opened its first-ever UK store in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
According to The Mail, customers in the UK have reacted to the store with a mix of amusement and confusion.

One woman laughed and said: ‘Bunnings to me is a bunny!’
Another man said: ‘It doesn’t mean anything to me because I’ve never heard of it before!’
The new store is expected to focus largely on gardening products.
And in case you were wondering, the Brits won’t be missing out having the true Bunnings experience, which involves eating a good old Bunnings sausage.
Yay. The sausage sizzle is coming to the UK. Hope Bunnings keep the sausage between two slices of crappy white bread rather than a bun. https://t.co/NBgUnFfijn

Customers will be able to sample a ‘sausage sizzle’ outside the brand new store. Because what’s a trip to Bunnings without getting a snag?
We suspect there may be some homesick Aussies heading to St Albans just for a sausage.
