YOUR LOCAL SHOPS ARE HERE TO SERVE

BRITISH shoppers say they love their local stores – and is it any wonder? Just look at what your independent carpet and flooring outlet has to offer. Independent and family businesses are at the heart of the community - and can offer and give you far more than many of the High Street giants. The average independent store shopper lives or works within a quarter of a mile of their local shop, with 69% within a half mile radius, according to recent research. And it is this close contact with local people that makes these shops so important to the communities they serve and to the fabric of British life.

Personal service, genuine help and advice from people who have been in the trade for many years and value for money are all key to the success of local businesses. Add to that “bottom line” prices for the finished work and an excellent after-sales service. Your local carpet store will not bamboozle you with offers or what appear to be “crazy” discounts. But their approachable staff will listen to your needs and come up with the deal that suits you perfectly. And the great thing is that shoppers in the Warrington area are blessed with a wide choice of stores on t h e i r doorstep – all p rov i d i n g quality, value for money and first-rate service with a smile.

The owners and staff of these businesses are here to serve – they put in the hours to make sure their shops are ready to provide you, the local customer, with everything you need when it comes to all your flooring and carpeting needs. So back your local trades people and think local before you buy. Support your small family run business – for the benefit of your community and your pocket and peace of mind.
