Dreams has completed the revamp of its flagship Welsh store.
The chain has invested £300,000 expanding the Cardiff store and distribution centre, with work taking 12 months.
The distribution centre now covers 31,000sqft and can store more than 2,290 mattresses and bases. The increased capacity is designed to help to improve product availability and provide shorter lead times. As part of its People-First strategy, the space for staff facilities has been quadrupled and electric vehicle charging points installed.
13 delivery vans will operate out of the distribution service centre six days a week. In 2022, those vans made 45,000 deliveries across the local area and travelled more than 500,000 miles.
The store now covers 12,500sqft including an airier shopping environment and a larger clearance section.
‘We are always looking for ways to support our colleagues and better serve our customers. That’s why we have made a meaningful investment in our Cardiff distribution service centre and retail store. This is a significant step forward in delivering on both our growth and People-First strategies and will mean we continue building on our position as the UK’s most loved bed retailer and a leading employer,’ says Jonathan Hirst, Dreams ceo.
