After plenty of anticipation, the UK’s leading homewares retailer has opened its new superstore in Bristol.
Dunelm launched its Cribbs Causeway store at 9am this morning (December 12) in the unit formerly occupied by Toys R Us, with local lifestyle blogger Elle Darby on hand to cut the ribbon.
The new store has created 60 new jobs including management roles, in-store colleagues and product specialists.
As well as stocking a wide range of home furnishings it also features a Pausa café and a new Made to Measure shopping experience for customers to enjoy.

Eric Sanders, Area Manager at Dunelm, said: "We are very excited to be opening our new store in Bristol Cribbs Causeway and we can’t wait to get to know more customers in the local area.
"We believe the new store design will make a more enjoyable and exciting experience - making the most of the latest product innovations to help customers create a home they love."
It became apparent a new Dunelm store was set to open in Bristol in November 2018, when a now-expired online job advert for sales assistants revealed plans to assemble a new team ready for the launch.
Dunelm was founded in 1979 as a Leicester market stall business selling ready-made curtains and has been making Made to Measure curtains and blinds in Leicestershire for more than 20 years.
Dunelm's other Bristol store is located at the Tramway Retail Park in Brislington.
This year the brand is celebrating its 40th birthday.
Since opening the first Dunelm store in Leicester in 1984, the company has expanded across the country making it the UK’s largest homewares retailer with more than 170 stores and employing over 9,000 colleagues nationwide.
