A NEW business has taken over the former Carpetright premises in Irvine.
Bensons for Beds has launched in the former store which was closed back in July after the carpet firm entered insolvency.
Despite a recue deal the Irvine branch was one of 200 stores closed - resulting in a number of job losses.
However, bed and mattress retailer Bensons have now taken over the Riverway Retail park site - which is one of 15 new UK stores the business has opened over the past three weeks.
Peter Doyle, regional sales manager for the new store said: “We are really excited about opening this Irvine location, and expanding the Bensons brand further in the UK.
"Bensons stands for great quality bed furniture for a lower price, as well as offering expert advice, all trying to help our customers to get a great night’s sleep.
"We look forward to meeting more customers through the doors of the store soon.”
