Furniture business Joseph James Furniture Outlet has announced plans to open its third store.

Situated off Baldwin Street in St Helens, the business has taken over a former Wilko store and will officially open on 26 April 2025 following an extensive refurbishment.

The move adds to its other two stores in Stretford and Stockport (pictured above).

In a statement, the company said: “Joseph James Furniture Outlet’s model of selling branded clearance furniture (sofas, beds, mattresses and dining furniture) requires a large space for any showroom.

“The 30,000sqft of retail space on offer at this former Wilko’s store is ideal to home the vast array of furniture that customers have become accustomed to navigating at the other two locations.

“This new St Helens site, at any one-time, will have for sale approximately 300 sofas, 50 chairs, 50 beds, 65 mattresses, 50 dining tables and 50 sets of dining chairs.

“All of these items will be available for immediate free delivery and be sold for approximately 30-70% off their retail price.

“Joseph James continues to breathe life into large retail stores on the British high street.”
