Affordable Scandi homewares brand, Søstrene Grene, has unveiled plans for its first Cambridgeshire location, which is set to open in Peterborough this year. Popular with customers for its budget-friendly products and unique in-store experience, the opening date of the latest location will be announced very soon.
Following Søstrene Grene’s continued UK expansion, the Danish retailer is set to open in Peterborough later this year. Marking the brands first Cambridgeshire location, the widely popular brand will join the retail offering at Queensgate Shopping Centre with details of the opening date due to be revealed in the coming weeks.
Inspired by the Danish concept of ‘hygge’, a feeling of comfort, contentment, and well-being, Søstrene Grene offers a curated selection of products alongside a relaxing in-store experience.
Mikkel Grene, CEO and Co-owner of Søstrene Grene, comments: “Our stores are not only a great place to explore our ever-changing product range but also act as a sanctuary for customers to escape reality and unwind. We are really proud of our store design and look forward to introducing the residents of Peterborough to our new ‘Retail for the Senses’ concept.”
The ‘Retail for the Senses’ store model encourages customers to browse the product selection at a leisurely pace while meandering through a labyrinth-style layout. The new design is complimented by classical music inspired by the brand’s heritage, as well as subdued lighting to create a comforting shopping environment.
The Peterborough store will feature a wide variety of products with trending weekly drops and seasonal collections, alongside a core range of homeware and stationary essentials. The ever-changing assortment includes craft supplies, furniture, home decor, party items, school and office accessories, as well as toys and “mini home” products for children. With affordable pricing and stylish designs, Søstrene Grene is ideal for families, students and interior design fanatics alike.
UK Joint Venture Partners, Norma Jacob and Richard Power, run Søstrene Grene stores across Northern Ireland, Southern England, Scotland and soon to be Wales.
