Caple launches new kitchen showroom at Bristol HQ


Caple has opened a new UK kitchen showroom at its Bristol HQ to raise awareness of its new Caple Studios initiative.


Occupying 1,200sq ft and featuring top-quality


furniture and high-performance appliances, the showroom will provide customers with extra space to peruse more products from the brand’s collections. This will complement the existing Caple Experience Centre. The new Caple Studios concept creates a


significant move into the consumer market as other showrooms look set to follow in a series of strategic high street locations. These, however, will be open to the end user with dedicated kitchen designers on-hand to help the homeowner create


their dream Caple kitchen. This diversification forms part of the brand’s future development and growth plan. Caple Managing Director, Danny Lay, explained

was going to be “a once in a lifetime opportunity”. He went on: “With an above average range of storage and connectivity options, the LEAP-S1 is one of the most versatile streaming boxes in its category.”
