QD in Oakham installs a new lift to improve accessibility for shoppers
A new lift has been installed at QD in Oakham to make the store more accessible for shoppers.
The business opened in Church Street in November in the premises which was previously occupied by Fords of Oakham.
The shop is split over two floors so the new lift will allow all shoppers access to the full range of products.
Store manager Anita Ozya said: “We had always planned to install a lift but as the store opened so quickly, we were unable to get one fitted at the time of opening.
"We are delighted to now have the lift in place, making QD in Oakham complete.
"While we’ve been very happy to help our customers with buggies and mobility scooters in the meantime, it is brilliant to have the lift installed so they are now freely able to access QD’s great value in every area of the store, both downstairs and upstairs.
“Feedback from customers so far has been very good and we hope this will make the shopping experience at QD even more enjoyable."
QD stocks a range of clothing, garden and homewares.
Fords of Oakham closed for the owners to focus on the funeral directing side of the business.
