An independent furniture and beds retailer has opened a new store in Eastwood with an eye on expanding further.

Situated on Nottingham Road, the Eastwood Sofa and Bed Centre has been launched by local businessman Greg Elston and has taken over the site formerly housed by Lawrences furniture store.

The new store, which has been trading for around a month, stocks sofas and beds – including recliners and adjustable beds, with the owner featuring British-made products.

Looking ahead, the company aims to expand with the opening of Arnold Sofa and Bed Centre. With talks currently underway, this aims to replace the closed store of the same name, which shuttered during August 2023 after the business’ owner, Kuki Verdi, decided to retire and list the property on Rightmove for £550,000.
