The bed specialist has opened 15 new stores within the past three weeks, having taken over a number of Carpetright’s former locations.

The new store, in Mero Retail Park on Lower Bristol Road, offers beds, mattresses, furniture and bedding.

Nick Collard, CEO of Bensons said: “The scale of openings we have managed to take on in the last few weeks is unprecedented by us as a business and is a huge feat for any retail business, particularly in the current economic climate.”

Joanne Davies, Regional Sales Manager for the new store said: “We are really excited about opening this Bath location and expanding the Bensons brand further in the UK.

“Bensons stands for great quality bed furniture for a lower price, as well as offering expert advice, all trying to help our customers to get a great night’s sleep.

“We look forward to meeting more customers through the doors of the store soon.”

The announcement comes as Bensons for Beds reveals that its latest data shows the brand is continuing to gain significant market share across its core bedroom categories, building on gains made in the last two years.
