Furniture Village in Milton Keynes reopens

Furniture Village will reopen its Milton Keynes branch on the Cairngorm Gate Retail Park tomorrow (Saturday, May 23), with social distancing measures in place.

The company tested new safety measures in six stores over the past week ahead of its reopening, including Bristol, Gillingham, Tamworth and York.

Stores have now been rearranged so that every customer will be greeted at the entrance.

At this point, shoppers will be required to have their temperature checked and will be asked to sanitise their hands before entering the store.

Staff will also be subject to temperature checks ahead of entering and will be equipped with protective face shields, along with perspex screens in front of tills.

Disposable pens will also be available for any paperwork that needs to be filled out.
