Renowned Cumbria electrical retailer Peter Tyson is moving its Workington store to a new site after 11 years.
The family-owned business, which will be celebrating its 60th anniversary next year, is closing its Finkle Street branch and reopening in new premises near Distington this spring.
Work has been ongoing at the former car showroom on Winscales Avenue for some time.
The new showroom will be more than double the size of the current premises.
Exact dates are still to be confirmed by the company but the revamp of the building are nearing completion.
Peter Tyson said it hoped to open the doors at the new store in late April/early May.
Paul Tyson, managing director of Peter Tyson, said: “We have made substantial investments in our new premises which we’re very proud of.
“We will have one of the smartest appliances stores in the UK with ample parking, best brands, great prices and the best service.
“It will offer everything you’ve come to expect from a Peter Tyson store: expert knowledge, free local delivery, installation services and finance options available.”
The impending move brings to an end 11 years of Tyson’s presence at Finkle Street, which opened in 2014 in a building previously used by McCulloughs.
The firm also has stores in Carlisle and Newcastle and employs 72 staff across its three sites.
