New Tenant at a Tatton Estate Knutsford Retail Unit – Topps Tiles

An example of the boutique format

Monckton Properties, part of the Tatton Estate is delighted to be working with Topps Tiles, the UK’s leading tile specialist, to launch its boutique format store in Knutsford; the first outside of Greater London.   The lease for the 2,500 sq ft commercial unit, located between McClaren and Sainsbury at 3/7 Canute Place, will see Topps Tiles open its doors in late Spring, making the brand even more convenient to both home improvement enthusiasts and trade professionals.

Renowned for its large edge-of-town store formats, the new store concept from Topps Tiles is a more intimate shopping experience combining practical inspiration with expert know-how. The store journey revolves around a large consultation table where customers can access specialist design advice from expertly trained teams, including a digital visualiser where visitors can view different tiles in real room sets or simply assemble tile samples to assess the overall look. Customers can also purchase individual samples from the selected product displays and make purchases in the same way as in existing stores.

Jim McCain of Tatton Estate Management Ltd who negotiated the transaction on behalf of Monckton Properties Ltd said:   “We are delighted to see this prime unit reoccupied. Monckton Properties and the Tatton Estate take great care to conserve and improve buildings and we know that residents in Knutsford take the same pride in their homes. We are really pleased that Topps Tiles is bringing its unique boutique format to the town which will provide local people with more choice for home improvements.”

Warren Bester, Property Acquisition Manager at Topps Tiles said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer our Topps Tiles expertise to homeowners in the Knutsford area. We’re excited to be launching the boutique concept outside of London for the first time and we are confident that our customers will enjoy the new shopping experience.”

Since opening its first store in Manchester in 1963 the Topps Tiles group has grown to incorporate 1700 specialist experts and over 330 stores nationwide with more openings in the pipeline. The latest launch underpins Topps Tiles’ strategy; to increase profitable market share through inspiring customers with amazing choice & exceptional levels of service.
