End of an Era: Carpet World Oakham Closes After 25 Years

End of an Era: Carpet World Oakham Closes After 25 Years


Oakham is saying goodbye to a long-standing local fixture, as Carpet World Oakham has officially closed its doors. The popular family-run business had been a fixture in the town for over 25 years, serving the community's flooring needs for a quarter of a century.

The closure marks the end of an era for both the business and its loyal customer base in Oakham. However, the service and expertise that local shoppers have come to rely on will continue, as the owners have successfully transferred their business operations to their Melton Mowbray branch.

This move ensures the family business can continue trading and providing high-quality carpets and flooring from its alternative location. Customers who have traditionally used the Oakham store are encouraged to visit the Melton Mowbray branch for all future inquiries, purchases, and services.

The closure of the Oakham store is a poignant moment, highlighting the changing landscape of local retail, but the continuation of the family business in nearby Melton Mowbray offers a silver lining for those who wish to continue supporting them.


Here are the details for the Melton Mowbray branch:
