The UK’s largest independently owned furniture retailer, Furniture Village, opened its first-ever Scottish store, on Edinburgh’s Straiton Retail Park, on Friday 20th December.
Furniture Village currently has 56 stores throughout England, with the new Scottish store taking its portfolio to a total of 57. The Edinburgh opening is the family-run retailer’s first venture into Scotland, with further Scottish stores planned to follow this year.
The new store offers customers a total of 25,780 sqft of home inspiration set across two styled floors. The ground floor covers a total of 13,670 sqft, with a mezzanine level of 12,110 sqft.
Charlie Harrison, MD, Furniture Village, says: “We are absolutely delighted to open the doors to our newest store and our first ever in Scotland. Straiton Retail Park is a popular shopping destination for furniture and homeware in Edinburgh and so it was the perfect choice for Furniture Village’s first store in Scotland. We are thrilled to introduce our beautiful and unique furniture and accessories for every room in the home, to Scottish customers for the very first time.
“This is an incredible milestone and achievement for the business and has been many months in the making. With several more Scottish stores in the pipeline for 2025, we are excited to continue our geographic expansion and bring our fantastic furniture and accessories to even more customers throughout the UK.”
Featuring dedicated spaces from brands such as Tempur, Duresta, G Plan, Harrison Spinks and Hypnos, along with exclusive collections, innovative products, quick delivery lines and a lowest price guarantee, the new retail space promises to "inspire and delight customers". Opening offers include sale prices storewide and £50 off every £500 spent until 19th February.
The family-run business was awarded Retailer of the Year in the 2024 Ideal Home awards, and named Retail Family Business of the Year at the 2024 Family Business Awards. At the Best Companies Awards 2024, it was recognised as a ‘world class business to work for’ and has a Trustpilot rating of 5 stars.
Straiton Retail Park is located just to the south of Edinburgh city centre, with easy access from the Edinburgh Bypass, and free parking. Furniture Village is planning to open several new stores in Scotland this year, with further details to be announced "imminently".
