A NATIONAL flooring has opened the doors to its first store in Kent, following a £150,000 investment.
Flooring Superstore chose the town of Ashford for the opening of its newest retail store on Mace Lane.
The 3,580 square foot store, which opened to customers on 27th July, has created three new jobs for local people, and forms part of an expansion programme being carried out by Flooring Superstore which started life as an ecommerce retailer in 2012.
Ashford becomes the retailer’s 43rd UK store.
Flooring Superstore Regional Manager Ian Robinson said: “We are delighted to have been able to open our first store in Kent and particularly in such a vibrant town as Ashford.
“The location so close to the town centre makes it ideal for people who shop on the High Street but with good road links and parking, it will also attract those from further afield, so it ticks all the right boxes for us.”
Visitors to the store will have access to a wide range of quality flooring such as carpets, vinyl, laminate, real wood, luxury vinyl tiles, ceramic tiles and the UK’s largest selection of artificial grass.
Ian added: “We offer a unique experience when it comes to buying flooring, not only because we have everything under one roof but also because we offer a service that is unrivalled in the flooring industry. We look to provide customers with a complete expert guide through the complicated flooring journey.
“We also utilise cutting-edge technology such as the use of augmented reality (AR) to help them visualise what flooring may look like in their own homes before they make a purchase.”
In just 12 years Flooring Superstore has grown from purely being an online retailer to becoming one of the leading flooring retailers in the UK, with outlets stretching from Glasgow in the north, to Plymouth in the south and from Norwich in the east to Swansea in the west.
