Doncaster store opens on the same day as eight of its others across the UK

Flooring Superstore launched its new store on the town’s Wheatley Hall Trade Park at a special event last month.

The retailer has invested £150,000 in the new, 2,900 square foot store, which has created three new jobs for local people.

The Doncaster store is one of 25 planned store openings in 2021, with northern-based Flooring Superstore continuing with its significant investment and growth strategy.

Regional manager Greig Anderson said: “We had planned to open the Doncaster store in January, but the recent national lockdown prevented this from happening, however with restrictions on non-essential retail now having been lifted, we took the earliest opportunity to open our doors. We’re delighted to have a presence in Doncaster. It’s our first store in South Yorkshire, so it’s a significant step for us.”

Flooring Superstore was established in 2012 as an online business, it now also has a number of ‘bricks and mortar’ stores, only beginning to open stores in 2017 and now has 30 across the UK. This m akes it one of the country’s fastest growing businesses, not only in the flooring sector but retail as a whole .

Shoppers have access to an unrivalled range of carpets but also a huge choice of other flooring, such as vinyl, laminate, real wood, luxury vinyl tiles, EvoCore and the UK’s largest selection of artificial grass.
