Fashion retailer Next has opened its first standalone Home & Garden store in Cribbs Causeway Retail Park, Bristol, with the addition of its first-ever Bedshop.
Over the last few years Next has expanded its home and garden portfolio with the opening of new stores across the country.

The opening in Bristol last week is the company's first store which is dedicated purely to home improvement, without any fashion in sight.

To compliment this new opening, Next has also opted to open its first-ever Bedshop within the 31,000sq ft store.

Customers can browse the largest range of beds and mattresses on offer in any Next store and seek expert advice.

Manager of the store, Alfie Rahman, said: "As a company we've started to open large out-of-town stores that have everything Next has to offer under one roof. This store is the first to purely focus on the home and garden part of the business.

"We're delighted to bring this to the area, as we know gardening and home design is something the local people take pride in."

Earlier in the year Next announced an increase in pre-tax profit of 11.8% to £695m for the year ending January 31 2014, which was described as a great year for the retailer.

The company also revealed it had plans to open three new Home & Garden stores in 2014, two of which will be built from scratch.
