“With a total floor-area of 2,103 sq ft, the retail unit will be fitted out as a showroom for Arches, with a stock room being dedicated to storage.
“Having formerly occupied premises on an industrial estate, the team at Arches Flooring and Beds were keen to move to a key shopping area. Daventry Road enjoys high levels of footfall, and the size of the unit suited the business’ needs.

Sara Hoddle, Of Arches Flooring and Beds, said: “We had been at our former address for 28 years, but people were finding it difficult to find us, and we decided to move to a more prominent site where we would benefit from passing trade.
“We’ve now refurbished the ground floor of the store, where will be showcasing our selection of branded flooring, and we aim to complete the first floor, which will be dedicated to beds, furniture and accessories, to officially open next month.”
