A new chapter in Sunderland 📍🛏️ Due to increased demand in the Northeast we’ve recently opened a new Dreams store and distribution centre in Sunderland, bringing retail and logistics together on one site to better serve customers across the Northeast. The investment has created 16 new roles in the local area and reflects our long-term commitment to the region and giving customers the ability to come into a store and seek expert advice. It also forms part of a wider programme of store and distribution investment continuing across the UK through 2026. We know choosing a bed is a big and exciting decision. People want expert advice in-store and fast, reliable delivery once that choice is made. These openings will help us do both for our customers 🚚✨
