Tapi opens in Bedford

Tapi Carpets & Floors has opened its latest store, on the site of the former Carpetright store in Bedford. 

In July 2024, Tapi Carpets & Floors bought Carpetright when the company went into administration, which included taking over 54 stores from the retailer across the region. 

Bedford adds to its portfolio of more than 210 Tapi stores. The new store is located at St Johns Retail Park, Rope Walk, Bedford, and opened on 14th February.

CEO Jeevan Karir says: "We’re thrilled to be opening our brand-new store in Bedford, giving local customers the chance to explore our extensive range of carpets, laminate, vinyl, luxury vinyl, and wood flooring. From timeless classics to on-trend designs, we’ve got something to suit every style, taste, and budget. Our friendly team is looking forward to welcoming customers through our doors, helping them find the perfect flooring to transform their homes."
