Family-run Sussex business DB Domestics, which specialises in kitchens and home appliances, has opened its second store, based at the Bell Walk Shopping Centre in Uckfield.
The business already runs a showroom in Seaside, Eastbourne, which was established in 1982.
Director Tom Baxter recognises that there has been a great community response in the town. He said: “We are absolutely delighted with how the opening has gone. For us, it is a new town, and we were keen to get it right from day one. We think we have achieved that.
“So many people in Uckfield have reached out to us, wishing us good luck and saying what a great town it is to trade in. We were pleased that so many people came to see us on our opening day, and we are confident that it will be a real success.
“It’s not an easy time to launch a new business. There aren’t many companies doing that a present, but we feel it’s the right time.”
To mark the opening, the ribbon was cut by Councillor Jackie Love. There were also various customer giveaways throughout the day.
Tom added: “We can offer online prices with the option of customers seeing the products before they buy, with service and expertise being an integral part of what we can offer customers.
“Uckfield is a vibrant town with so much to offer, and I am confident we can bring more commercial success to the town.
“We are well-positioned in Bell Walk with customer parking available, and I look forward to DB Domestics becoming an integral part of the Uckfield community.”
