Bathroom retailer continues UK expansion with store openings

Easy Bathrooms is preparing to open two new stores in the coming weeks as part of its ongoing expansion of operations through the UK.

Based in Yorkshire, the company specialises in bathroom fixtures and fittings, and has tripled its nationwide store network and created 90 new jobs since 2017.

The two new stores, situated in Bradford and Glasgow, will create nine new jobs when they open next month.

Neil Bell, head of retail for Easy Bathrooms, said: “Our Bradford store is our ninth showroom in the region, which we’re incredibly proud of. We’re a Yorkshire-based company; and we are pleased to be able to create more employment opportunities across our home county.

“On the flip-side, Glasgow is our first location outside of England – and it’s a 400-display superstore, our biggest yet – which is a huge opportunity for us to grow our brand. It’s a very exciting time for us.”

The Bradford store is situated in a unit formerly occupied by tech retailer Maplin which went into administration in 2018, while the Glasgow showroom is the former site of Better Bathrooms, which collapsed earlier this year.

Neil continued: “During a period when there’s plenty of doom and gloom surrounding the UK high street, we are proud to expand and open bricks and mortar stores, alongside growing our online presence.

“Both Glasgow and Bradford are former units of businesses which went into administration, so we’re delighted to fill these spaces and help revive local high streets.”
