SOLENT BEDS TO OPEN NEW SUPERSTORE IN NEWPORT HIGH STREET

Isle of Wight firm Solent Beds & Furniture will be opening a new superstore on the High Street in Newport, it has been revealed. The premises was, until recently, the Island’s only Poundstretcher store but many Islanders will fondly remember Courts, the furniture store. Having been purchased at auction in June, work will now be undertaken to complete a comprehensive internal refurbishment to bring the store up to date. It’s not yet known when the store will open its doors, but Island Echo will update readers in due course. Solent Beds & Furniture is a well-established, independently-owned firm having opened its flagship superstore in Lake back in April 2006. The new site will complement the Lake store, allowing them to showcase the largest top brand furniture and bed collection locally. Both stores are supported by 2 separate large Island warehouses stocking many of their most popular furniture lines including mattresses and beds for fast and free delivery by their delivery teams. The current Newport sites – both Savoy Court on Pyle Street and Riverway are now offering re-location sales (whilst stocks last) as both leases expire later this year.
