Bensons for Beds has launched 15 new stores within three weeks, occupying former Carpetright locations across the UK.
This expansion follows the furniture retailer’s acquisition of 19 ex-Carpetright sites in August, after the flooring company entered administration. The move forms part of Bensons for Beds’ long-term growth strategy, which aims to establish up to 40 new stores over the coming years.
In addition to these openings, Bensons has launched its first high street store in Sutton and made a return to Northern Ireland after a four-year absence with a new outlet in Belfast.
The new store locations include:
- Aberdeen
- Ashton
- Bath
- Belfast
- Canterbury
- Edmonton
- Exeter
- Gillingham
- Irvine
- Kettering
- Oldbury
- Salisbury
- Slough
- Solihull
- Sutton
- Torquay
Nick Collard, Chief Executive of Bensons for Beds, commented: “The scale of store openings we’ve achieved in such a short period is unprecedented for us as a business, and it’s a significant accomplishment for any retailer, especially given the current economic climate.
“While market conditions remain tough, Bensons is positioned to take advantage of a market recovery. This success is a direct result of our ongoing transformation into the leading bed specialist, providing expert advice and great value to help our customers enjoy a good night’s sleep.”
