Abbey Mill Carpets and Blinds we will not he beaten
EASY to find, with easy parking — and offering mill shop-style discount prices!
Carpets and Blinds, one of a row of varied retail businesses on North Street, Clitheroe. or, as in a recent contract, a school or supplying a roll-end - it’s all the same to Abbey Mill. There is an equal “we will not be beaten" approach . Whether it’s a tricky installation for the increasingly popular Velux windows or a plain kitchen blind, Abbey Mill has the stock,
j the experience, the fitting skills and the discount prices. Street runs behind the Chatbum Road filling station and offers plenty of free parking for customers talking to the
T retailers. There are also pay-and-display spaces. • '
Abbey Mill is at the top of the row, near the Salthill Road access to the street. Its double unit is the size of many a warehouse, with easy access and plenty of room.
Proprietor Mr Keith Tauson has been in the trade for nearly 40 years, acquiring something of a second-sight knowledge of what the customer wants which is at the disposal of everyone. A good choice is fundamental so Mr Tauson has plenty of conventional stock, often-changing extra-bargain lines and 5,000 carpet samples. There’s a constructive approach to offering everyone a bargain. For instance wool, twist and velour carpets can be supplied for fitting in any width and length, eliminating waste. You only pay for what goes down on your floor and that’s just for starters in getting a good deal at Abbey Mill. All major cards are accepted and finance is available. Mr Tauson is keen for people to realise that numerous businesses serve the public from North Street. The others include Calverley’s joiners, Clitheroe Car Valet, Park Garage, coppersmith L. Harrison, Waterworld and Ribble Valley Coloured Glass.
