• Fabb Sofas will open four stores on Christmas Eve
  • The stores will open in Croydon, Watford, Orpington and Nottingham
  • DFS founder Lord Kirkham launched his new sofa venture earlier this year

Fabb Sofas, the new venture from DFS founder Lord Kirkham, is to open four new stores this week in time for the Boxing Day rush.

The stores will open in Croydon, Watford, Orpington and Nottingham on Christmas Eve for a half day launch with Boxing Day the first full day of trading.

All four stores officially open on Christmas Eve, Saturday December 24, 2016, for half day launches.

They will then open full time from Boxing Day, Monday December 26.

Fabb Sofas made its debut in October, opening a store in Southampton and a transactional website.

Kirkham, who sold DFS in 2010, hired former Austin Reed finance boss Alan Charlton as chief operating officer and has poached several top DFS directors to head up Fabb Sofas.
