Filipino DIY Store Chain Is The Spitting Image Of Bunnings Warehouse

Bunnings Warehouse has been a staple for DIY enthusiasts all over Australia for more than a century.

The iconic green and red colours along with a jingle you can't forget means it will likely continue to be regarded as legendary for decades to come.

But people have been shocked to find a doppelgänger exists in the Phillipines and the likeness is uncanny.

Builder's Warehouse has the same or a very similar green and red colour palette along with the same goddamn hammer for a logo.

Thankfully that haven't picked up the 'Lowest Prices Are Just The Beginning' tagline and have instead chosen to go for 'You Build. We Provide' as their slogan.

According to 7News, the inside of the store is laid out similar to Bunnings and even the employees have similar uniforms.

They say imitation is the biggest form of flattery.

Builder's Warehouse opened in 2018 and recently opened a new store. It appears the Filipino company had a look at Bunnings when they wanted to describe itself online.

Builder's Warehouse tells their customers on the social media site: "[We are] anchored at delivering first-class materials, appliances, furniture, and groceries to everyone who needs a hand in home building from the groundwork, furnishing up to the final modifications of any structural development and needs.

Bunnings says on its website: "Our ambition is to provide our customers with the widest range of home improvement products in accordance with our lowest prices policy, backed with the best service."

It's unclear whether this is just a massive rip off of Bunnings Warehouse or whether Builders' Warehouse is attached to Wesfarmers in some secret way.

7News said two aren't associated with each other.
