Floorstore Group has opened its sixth branch and boosted its workforce after securing major funding from its bank.
The family-owned group, which has stores across Leeds – including Jim’s Carpets – as well as Harrogate and Wakefield, has secured £2.1m of funding from NatWest.
This has allowed it to open a 13,000sqft store in Cross Gates, Leeds as well as increasing staff numbers. It also plans to add solar panels to its stores.
‘We’ve long been keen to grow our offering to give our customers more choice of carpets and flooring and our new store will allow us to do just that, bringing our high-quality products to new customers, while also serving to complement our online retail offer and meet our future ambitions for growth,’ says Steve Walker, Floorstore Group md.
‘The business has banked with NatWest for more than 40 years and we’ve always had an exceptional relationship over the years, with the bank supporting us at every stage of our journey. Everything about securing the finance package has been really easy and it’s been a smooth process all the way through.’
