Upholstery retailer Sofa Club is to open its third showroom – its fifth retail outlet – after seeing sales soar in the past year.
A 3,200sqft store will open on Glasgow’s London Road, near Sterling Home and DFS and next to Direct Flooring, on Saturday. The unit was previously occupied by hot tub retailer Wellis Leisure.
The opening comes in response to customer demand and online engagement from Scotland, as well as growing requests for swatches and local delivery options.
‘We’ve seen a huge following from Scottish customers online, so opening a physical store in Glasgow was a natural next step. This showroom will let people experience our most popular sofas up close, with help from our knowledgeable and friendly team,’ says Tom O’Neil, Sofa Club co-founder.
The retailer saw sale leap from £11.18m to £33.5m in the year to 31 March. Care plan sales reached £944,000.
Pre-tax profits rose from £736,092 to £3.04m. A dividend of £325,000 was paid.
Cash generated almost doubled to £1.6m, with cash at hand rising from £114,679 to £836,059 with a £567,000 overdraft repaid.
