Furniture retailer Woods Furniture has announced plans to open a new store at Castlepoint Shopping Centre in Bournemouth.

Established in 1875, Woods operates two successful stores in Dorchester and will introduce its furniture collections and an extensive selection of home accessories, including vases, faux florals, rugs, cushions, throws and ornaments to Castlepoint’s shoppers.

Woods’ new 8,438sqft store will complement the scheme’s existing homeware line-up as Castlepoint’s first dedicated furniture brand, joining the likes of HomeSense, Easy Bathrooms, ProCook, TK Maxx and Next.

Charlie English, Marketing Director at Woods Furniture, commented: “We’re excited to be opening at Castlepoint and seeing shoppers explore our fantastic range of furniture in styles to suit any home.

“Woods Furniture was established in 1875 in the heart of Dorset and our Dorchester home has allowed the local customer base to enjoy well priced, quality furniture and top-notch customer service for over 150 years.

“Fully independent and family owned, we have long been inspiring homes in the area but are now branching out to Castlepoint. This prime location in East Dorset will provide both current and new shoppers easier access for those looking for new, quality additions to their homes.”
