High street homewares chain Dunelm has reopened 39 more stores in line with the Government's revised guidelines on 'essential' retailers.
The company, which was ordered to closed on March 23 after the UK's lockdown went into full force, has now reopened branches across the UK, including in London and the Midlands.
Dunelm said the outlets have reopened with new social distancing and safety measures in place, such as staggered rotas, two metre social distancing gaps and one-way systems for staff.
It comes after the Government eased restrictions on homeware retailers and garden centres on May 1.
The chain first reopened for home delivery only at the end of April, before reopening all 172 stores for click and collect orders last week.
But it's now reopened 39 stores for browsing and in store purchases, although it says its Pausa Coffee Shops will remain closed until they can safely be reopened.
It's also introduced a host of safety measures inside stores and for deliveries - such as two vehicles for large items that require a two person team.
When carrying items to customer doorsteps, drivers will wear facemasks to ensure their safety when two metre distancing is not possible.
In a statement on its website Dunelm said: "We're happy to say that we are reopening 39 stores as part of a careful and gradual process.
"Stores are reopening with a few changes to the way we work to ensure everyone is able to shop safely with social distancing and hygiene measures in place."
