After over 12 months of investment and activity, the Leekes Retail Group has revealed the first phase of its Llantrisant store refurbishment.

The South Wales headquartered family owned home department store retailer has announced the grand opening of its newly revitalised furniture floor including new flooring & interior design studios and a brand new garden and landscaping centre.

The much-anticipated event takes place today (8 June 2023) with Warren Gatland CBE, Head Coach of the Wales National Rugby team, cutting the ribbon. This occasion is the culmination of a significant £4m initial investment, representing the business’ commitment to providing both an inspirational collection of home furnishings as well as an unparalleled shopping experience.

The new furniture floor at Leekes Llantrisant displays the largest collection of sofas & chairs, beds and dining & bedroom furniture in South Wales including contemporary and classic furniture designs. The extensive refurbishment has allowed for a more spacious and immersive shopping environment, ensuring visitors can explore a vast collection of high-quality pieces from leading brands like ercol, Stressless, G Plan Upholstery, Hypnos and Parker Knoll plus own brand collections that perfectly cater to their individual tastes and styles.

“Leekes Llantrisant has been a much loved feature in the local community for over four decades since its opening in 1977. We are delighted to announce the reopening of our furniture floor and garden & landscaping centre in our flagship store in Llantrisant,” said Emma Leeke, Managing Director of Leekes Retail.

“This substantial investment demonstrates our commitment to our customers and showcases our passion for creating inspiring spaces within their homes. Phase two of our refurbishment is already in the work with more exciting updates and further investment still to come. We are thrilled to have Warren Gatland, an icon of excellence, join us for this very special occasion.”

The grand re-launch features exclusive discounts, special promotions and an opportunity for customers to meet Warren Gatland.
