'Looks lovely': New shop opens in Northampton's Grosvenor Centre

Julian Charles Home opened its doors on Friday, October 23, in the unit previously occupied by fashion retailer Quiz.

The new shop sells bedding, curtains, cushions, throws and other home accessories.

Announcing the opening on Facebook, the Grosvenor Centre said: “Welcome Julian Charles Home to the lower mall.

“Our newest store opened its doors, with bedding, throws and Christmas cushions ready and waiting for you. Pop down and say hello to the team.”

The post attracted a number of positive comments from residents.

One said: “Great to have a nice shop in the Grosvenor”.

One customer commented: “Looked in the window the day before opening – looks lovely”.

Another said: “Nice to see a new shop. Good luck.”

A Julian Charles Home spokesman said:”We are delighted to have opened a new store at the Grosvenor Centre.Our fantastic selection of bedding and homeware is perfect for local shoppers in that area.

“With the colder months approaching, customers can explore a wide selection of cosy bedding and home accessories, perfect for keeping warm and comfortable throughout the winter season.

“The store also features our seasonal Christmas collections, offering plenty of inspiration to help customers prepare their homes for the festive season and make this special time of year even more memorable.

“Customers are warmly invited to pop in, explore our products and meet the friendly team, who will be happy to help them find the perfect additions for their home.”

The retailer describes itself as ‘the heart Of your home since 1947’.

On its website, the company says: “Over this time, we have evolved from a small Lancashire business manufacturing ready-made curtains to a multi-channel retailer.

“We offer a wide range of beautifully made soft furnishings, including quality bedding, ready-made curtains, luxury cushions, cosy throws and on-trend home decor accessories.

“Today we have over 80 stores and concessions right across the UK,

“We strive to develop products that we know you will love. Many of our products are designed in the UK by our in-house designer. We create a variety of designs to cater for every taste, from classic jacquard prints to trend-led signature pieces. We hope you enjoy our collections as much as we have enjoyed creating them for you.”

Quiz closed its store, on the ground floor of the centre, earlier this year after the chain entered administration in February.
