poltronesofà opens brand-new Poole store

Branch manager Lee Orton and his team officially opened poltronesofà's brand-new store on Wessex Gate Retail Park, Poole, today. 

Italy's poltronesofà – which purchased ScS in 2024 – brings three decades of Italian design experience to furniture made for modern living, with many sofas made to order.

The new store showcases 84 sofa ranges, from classic two- and three-seater sofas to corner sofas, recliners, sofas with tech and sofabeds. Customers can personalise their choice from over 200 colours, fabrics and real leathers, and for those who need a new sofa sooner, a number of ranges are available with delivery from seven days.

With existing poltronesofà stores in Southampton and Plymouth, the new Poole location brings the brand even closer to customers in the town and surrounding area.

The opening has also created seven roles – a branch manager, deputy manager and five home advisors. Recruitment is under way, with full-time and part-time home advisor vacancies available.

Lee Orton says: “We’re delighted to bring poltronesofà to Poole and welcome local customers into our new store. We look forward to offering a warm welcome and, of course, Italian coffee to our customers.”
