Abed’s opens new store in St Thomas

Popular fabric and home décor store Abed’s has opened a new store in Welches, St Thomas, after nearly two years of planning and preparation.

The new store occupies two spacious storeys and provides a completely different shopping experience for customers.

Nikita Abed-Caplen, brand director at Abed’s, expressed excitement about finally opening the store located in a new business development in Welches.

She shared that the store offers a broader selection of items: “We have some new items that we don’t currently have in our other stores, and there are many more expanded product ranges to come.”

With a team of 40 to 50 staff members, many of whom have been training since the summer, the store is ready to serve its customers, she said.

“We’re so happy to see both new and some of the experienced staff members now up here. So many of our beloved team are here, so I’m sure customers will spot lots of people that they know from both of our stores.”

Abed-Caplen revealed that the store is currently open from 9 am to 8 pm, with adjusted hours for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.

“We’re just so excited to have people in before Christmas, our home décor collection is full. We’ve got a bit of something for everyone, from beautiful curtains and chairs and blackout panels to gorgeous faux flowers, plants, and of course our new expanded collection of accent furniture and tables. We have cushions, we have glassware, we have crockery, we have pillows and bedding and comforter sets and you name it, it’s here.”

She added: “So no matter what room you’re looking at sprucing up for the holidays, to welcome friends and family there, we hope you come by and see what we’ve got here.”
