Furniture Retailing Market in UK @ http://www.researchmoz.us/furniture-retailing-uk-august-2013-report.html . This is partly due to the advent of the internet and partly because of a growing reluctance to drive to out-of-town stores. Furniture retailers have adapted to the internet, their next challenge is to think long and hard about the future of the superstore. Their first move must be to experiment with moves back to the high street (or, at least, to secondary locations) and see to what extent smaller stores and the internet together can work better or as well as larger out-of-town stores.

Retailing is changing. This is partly due to the advent of the internet and partly because of a growing
reluctance to drive to out-of-town stores. Furniture retailers have adapted to the internet, their next challenge is
to think long and hard about the future of the superstore. Their first move must be to experiment with moves
back to the high street (or, at least, to secondary locations) and see to what extent smaller stores and the
internet together can work better or as well as larger out-of-town stores.
