Furniture Village is delighted to announce that it has recently exchanged contracts on its largest store to date, in a prominent location adjacent to the M8 just to the west of Glasgow. This will be the brand’s 58th store, following on swiftly from the successful opening in December 2024 of its first store in Scotland, on Straiton Retail Park in Edinburgh.
The ‘Glasgow West’ store will be to the south of the Hillington Interchange at Junction 26 of the M8, occupying the former Peter Vardy CARZ showroom. The site commands an extremely visible position alongside Hillington Road, forming part of the wider regional centre including IKEA and Braehead Shopping Centre nearby, and next to a cluster of the most prominent car dealerships in Scotland, with Abbotsinch Retail Park only 5 minutes’ drive away.
The store will provide approximately 50,000 sq ft of retail floorspace, supported by 20,000 sq ft dedicated to a warehouse at the rear for speedy fulfilment of customer orders. It will be one of the largest furniture stores in the country with its scale giving an opportunity to feature extended ranges of sofas, cabinet, beds and bedroom furniture as well as home furnishing accessories, together with re-imagined café bar areas for customers. It is planned that the store will open during June 2025.
Charlie Harrison, managing director at Furniture Village, said: “Following the incredible success of our first Scottish store, which opened in Edinburgh in December 2024, we’re excited to announce the opening of our second location — right in the heart of Glasgow this June!
After months of searching for the perfect spot, we couldn’t be happier to have secured a standout site on Hillington Road. Just a mile from Braehead Shopping Centre and highly visible from the M8, it’s a fantastic location to continue our expansion.
This will be our largest store in the UK so far, and we can’t wait to open the doors and welcome the people of Glasgow this summer.”
The family-run business was awarded Retail Family Business of the Year at the 2024 Family Business Awards and continues to be recognised by the Best Companies Awards as a ‘world class business to work for’ with a Trustpilot rating of 5 stars.
The new Glasgow store is set to open mid-June and is located on Hillington Road, a prime location which is visible from the M8 and close to the Abbotsinch Shopping Park.
