Wren Kitchens has arrived in Carlisle with its 106th showroom and created 20 jobs.
The 15,000sq ft showroom has opened in the city’s new retail park at Gateway 44.
Mark Whitely, Wren Kitchens Carlisle showroom manager, said: “We’re really excited to bring something new to the Carlisle community, as we offer an inspirational kitchen design service from start-to-finish, including our award-winning 3D design software and virtual reality headsets, to see dream kitchens come to life.
“Our showroom looks outstanding after months of transforming it to the highest standards, and we look forward to welcoming our first customers through the doors and seeing their reactions as they walk in!”
Outgoing Carlisle mayor Marilyn Bowman cut the ribbon to officially open the showroom to the community and the retailer donated £500 to the mayor’s charity funds whose main beneficiaries are Eden Valley Jigsaw Hospice, Cash for Kids and Guide Dogs.
She said: “It’s fantastic to see well-known businesses such as Wren Kitchens having the confidence to come and invest in our city.”
“The retail park is set in a prime location and I’ve watched it develop over the years from putting the first spade in the ground, to today, where it’s coming to life with substantial new investments.”
