Sofa shop to take on Hinckley Co-Op building

Cut Price Suites will open in February 2018.

Cut Price Suites, a furniture company from Leicester, that was established 30 years ago, is set to open in the former Co-op Super store building early next year.

The building on Castle Street was acquired by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council in 2016 after the store was closed. The council converted the 130 space car park to a council pay and display car park for workers, shoppers, and leisure centre users.

Gareth Hancock, Partner at Cut Price Suites said: "We are excited to announce the opening of our new superstore in February 2018 in the former Co-op building on Castle Street. The opening of the store will see us merging our internet team and showroom and we believe that Hinckley is the perfect place to do this.

“We carefully considered many areas within Leicestershire and left no stone unturned, but decided that Hinckley had exactly what we needed; the road networks, the huge investments in the town itself and the growth of residential new build properties in the area really made it stand out. We'd very much like to thank HBBC for their continued help and look forward to welcoming customers new and old into our store."

Steve Wegerif, Director of Hinckley BID said:  “We very much welcome the decision by Cut Price Suites to move from Leicester into Hinckley. At a recent meeting with the owner it was clear that they are keen to be a part of the Hinckley townscape and enter into the spirit that continues to see Hinckley both win Awards and attract families into our vibrant town centre.”
