Flemingate is now almost fully let, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, meaning it offers greater choice, variety and an even better experience for customers than ever before.”
The new Flemingate store is the latest addition to Dunelm’s network of more than 170 outlets across the country. The store’s departments include Made to Measure and Decorate & Co-ordinate, including Dunelm’s new range of own brand paints, as well as a Take Home Today furniture section.
