Hundreds of customers queued for the start for the start of the retirement sale at one of the south of England’s largest independent furniture and flooring stores.

HG Scadgell in Worthing, West Sussex has been bought by Collingwood Batchellor 90 years after it opened and the sale began yesterday.

‘It took two hours to get everybody into the shop and there have been some seriously good bargains available,’ says Guy Collingwood, Collingwood Batchellor md.

The company plans to refurbish the three storey building, keeping its traditional feel but with a more contemporary look. ‘A stunning cookshop and linen department will be added making it the destination homestore in Worthing,’ says Collingwood.

Collingwood Batchellor has its flagship department store at Horley, Surrey as well as stores in Horsham and Haywards Heath, West Sussex and Haslemere, Surrey.

Worthing’s oldest furniture retailer, Polands, which opened in 1883, is across the road from HG Scadgell.
