Discount chain looks to growth
Clearance furniture chain Turners Furniture is looking to continue its expansion after opening its seventh store.
The company, founded in 1976 by Mike Turner, has opened its sixth store in the Pride Hill shopping centre in Shrewsbury.
'This new store will create four new jobs and is in addition to the five stores we already have. Things are going very well for the company and our staff and delivery drivers have been extremely busy,' says Turner.
'There's a lot of passing trade. It's a very busy area. We've only just moved in but we're very pleased with how it's going.
"We've taken on an extra 20 members of staff over the past three months. We've taken four staff on at Pride Hill and we've got plans for a big development within Shrewsbury which would bring in another store and would create another 20 staff.'
If the expansion plan goes ahead, the new store should be open in the New Year.
The chain operates as a clearance outlet for end of line or surplus stock and has almost all products in stock.
