From a London Ironmonger's to a Home and DIY Retailer
Robert Dyas was founded in 1872 by Robert Dyas, who emigrated from County Meath, Ireland, to London with a £5 inheritance. He used the money to open his first ironmongery shop, selling hardware and practical household products.
The business grew over the following decades, developing a network of stores across London and southeastern England. It experienced major setbacks during the Second World War and a serious fire at its distribution centre and head office in 1997, but continued operating and rebuilding.
In July 2012, businessman Theo Paphitis acquired Robert Dyas. The retailer is now part of Theo Paphitis Retail Group, alongside Ryman, Boux Avenue and London Graphic Centre. It has expanded its online range while retaining its traditional focus on home, garden and hardware products.
