Independent furniture retailer plans to turn store into restaurant

17th March | retail | Furniture retailer Woods & Woods wants to turn one of its two stores into a bar and restaurant. The firm, which has stores in Muswell Hill, London and St Albans in Hertfordshire, has made a change of use planning application.

If successful, the independent furniture retailer’s St Albans store could become a bar when the lease runs out at the end of the year.

The firm dates back to the 1970s when it started with a West Hampstead store called the Pine Shop.
