It claims to have budget-friendly pricing and stylish designs that are ideal for families, students and interior design fanatics.
The opening will continue the roll out of Søstrene Grene’s new store model, ‘Retail for the Senses’, a unique shopping experience designed to invoke the senses.
Incorporating its labyrinth like store layout with subdued lighting and classical music, the concept creates an interesting, free-flowing journey for customers.
Mikkel Grene, CEO and co-owner of Søstrene Grene, previously said: "We are really excited to continue the roll out of our ‘Retail for the Senses’ store design.
"Not only do we want our customers to enjoy our fantastic selection of products, but we also look to provide a shopping experience that offers a moment of calm and relaxation.”
Currently undergoing a major expansion throughout the UK, Søstrene Grene demonstrates the Danish concept of ‘hygge’ through in-store experiences and comforting products.
Described as a quality of cosiness and contentment, ‘hygge’ is a key element of the Danish lifestyle contributing to the overall happiness of the nation.
UK Joint Venture partners, Norma Jacob and Richard Power, who run Søstrene Grene stores across Northern Ireland, Southern England and Scotland, are also looking forward to the new store opening.
