Texas Homecare was a chain of do it yourself stores

1972 Established by Manny, Sydney and Gerald Fogel, who had previously founded the high street specialist paint and wallpaper chain Home Charm.

Mervyn Fogel, co-founder and managing director for over twenty five years, had a vision of turning the small family business into an retail empire of Do-It-Yourself stores. Texas specialised in higher volume, lower margin DIY products.

The company was adversely affected by the recession and depressed housing market.
