Independent furniture business The Home Furniture Outlet has opened on Teesside.

Situated on Grange Road in Middlesbrough, the business opened on 29 January 2024 and sources surplus and clearance stock from some of the UK’s largest online and high street retailers.

Friends Aqeel Rashid and Shohaib Majid, are the duo behind the store, while Aqeel has been in the furniture industry for the past seven years with another shop, Boro Beds & Furniture on Park Lane.

The company says it is “first like it” in the area and has plans to open more branches in the North East in the future.
