Adding to the excitement, they announced a new edition to their brand-new store with the launch of Timbercity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BUCO\u2019s history dates back to the 1980s to a building supply store in Durban Street known as The Uitenhage Sawmills. It was a family-owned business run by the Greenstein family who lived in Barkly Street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During 2008 The Uitenhage Sawmills was bought by the Iliad (BUCO) group and in 2012 The Uitenhage Sawmills officially changed its name to BUCO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, nearly ten years ago to the day, not only has the town\u2019s name changed to Kariega, but BUCO has moved premises to a brand-new location, 145-147 Durban Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Superb shopping <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The considerably larger new BUCO premises, measuring 1700 m\u00b2 offers the people of Kariega a superb shopping experience, a wide variety of building and home renovation products at competitive prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BUCO Kariega Branch Manager, Joel Katz, said: \u201cWe want to increase our value offering to the community by going the extra mile to please our customers. One such example is, if you don\u2019t see it on our shelves, we will gladly source it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe at BUCO Kariega are excited to announce another new edition to our brand- new store and that is the launch of Timbercity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Timbercity is the proven leading retailer specialising in timber, board, and hardware for carpentry applications for over 40 years. Timbercity also provides related services like board cutting, edging and the pre-drilling of hinge holes, saving you time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lots of giveaways and R10 000 lucky draw<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTogether with BUCO, customers can look forward to quality products, services and support at competitive prices with speed, efficiency and with a personal touch,\u201d said Katz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join BUCO at their relaunch on the 3rd and 4th June and experience the many in store specials, mystery discounts and surprise giveaways, including a R10 000 lucky draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The friendly, professional staff are looking forward to welcoming customers and helping them with all their building material and DIY needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s to the future: BUCO Let\u2019s Build Together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buco.co.za\/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpcbR4MmO-AIVqoFQBh0zCAy7EAAYASAAEgL-5fD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click here to
