Independent furniture retailer Solent Beds and Furniture has announced it will open its new store this month.

Solent Beds and Furniture has occupied a store on Savoy Court, Town Lane, in Newport, Isle of Wight, for the last 10 years and has decided to relocate to a larger space.

It has taken over the former Poundstretcher and Courts Furniture Store building on Newport High Street.

Following the expiry of its lease at the site, as well as at its Clearance Outlet on Riverway Industrial Estate, the business has merged the two into one location.

The company also trades from its Lake superstore on Lake Industrial Way.

Following a ‘comprehensive internal refurbishment’ after acquiring the premises at auction, the new store is expected to open on 11 November with an official ribbon cutting ceremony.

The new store will offer a larger range of furniture and sofas from brands including G Plan, La-Z-Boy and Parker Knoll, as well as a Signature Bed Gallery on the first floor displaying a collection of beds, mattresses and bedroom furniture.
