A brief history of Queenstreet Furnishings of Exeter in Devon...

The business relocates across the road and renames itself 'Queen Street Carpets' and becomes a Limited company. The business blossoms and begins branching out into furniture and beds.  
 

 

1969

 
The business expands and purchases a 12,000sqft former laundry warehouse in Alphington and opens a second shop, 'Dixieland Mills', allowing the company to increase its presence in furniture and carpet retail.

The business sells the property in Queen Street to focus on the much larger premises in Alphington.

The company rebrands and begins significant investment into developing the existing showrooms in Exeter and rolls out national sales via a new website.  
 

 

2008

 
Following a successful rebranding and an increase in product range and product diversity, new commercial and domestic opportunities are realised within the flooring and furniture market, benefiting customer choice and price. Including membership of the Minerva Furnishers Guild, a dynamic furniture buying group currently representing 109 top quality independent furniture retailers located throughout the UK, Channel Islands and Ireland. Minerva is able to combine the individual strengths of independently owned businesses with the collective buying power of 145 stores, to offer well designed, quality furniture at extremely competitive prices.  
 

 

2009

 
Following the success of the existing website, a new improved website is launched to better reflect the new image, the range & quality of product, as well as to incorporate the latest developments in website design and technology.
