Independent opens new store following relocation

Independent furniture retailer Solent Beds and Furniture has announced the official opening of its new store.

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 now open following an official ribbon cutting ceremony, which took place on 11 November 2024.

Commenting on the launch, the retailer said: “What an Amazing Grand Opening! Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us! We’re keeping the celebration going with fantastic offers, including the chance to win £100 store credit in our raffle! Visit our new store to enter— we’ll be pulling a new winner every day for the next 14 days! Good luck!”

The new store offers 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.
