The Island’s very first Bensons For Beds store officially opened in Newport today (Friday 2nd August). The national firm, which sells a diverse range of beds, mattresses and bedroom furniture, first announced they were moving into the premises back in June – as previously reported by Island Echo. Up until 2017, the Town Centre premises off St James’ Street was occupied by Brantano Footwear, which was then bought out by Pavers when the firm fell into administration. It was announced back in April that Pavers was to close its doors for good after 8 years on the Island. The company’s lease on the retail park unit was coming to an end, with the landlord also implementing a rent increase. It’s not the first bed store to feature at Town Gate…between 2016 and 2018 Mattressman occupied the unit next door, the former Blockbusters store. Back in June, a spokesperson for the store said: A spokesperson for the chain has said:
“We are always looking for opportunities to bring the Bensons brand to different areas across the UK to make sure as many people as possible have access to a better sleep experience through our quality products and expert advice.”

Having learnt to buy anything they want BUT food and heating as suckers will fund that but not so false lashes and nails
