New store set to open in West Cumbria town this summer after 'major investment'
A CUMBRIAN business will be opening a new store in Workington. Electrical retailer Peter Tyson has set the opening date for its store as Saturday, July 5. After 11 years at its Finkle Street location, the company is relocating to a larger, purpose-renovated showroom on Winscales Avenue, on the Lillyhall estate, near Distington, marking a new chapter for the family-run business. The new site, a former Central 4 cars showroom, is 5,000 square feet and has been refurbished. In the run-up to the move Peter Tyson is holding a moving sale at the Finkle Street store, running until June 20. Managing director Paul Tyson said: 'We've made a major investment in this new site and we're incredibly proud of the result. 'This new store reflects everything people love about Peter Tyson – great prices, trusted brands, expert service, and free local delivery – but with even more space, more stock, and more to experience. "We've had a relatively small presence in the area for a number of years so we saw this as a great opportunity to expand. "We believe that people deserve a greater choice of some of the biggest brands in the UK and a better environment to see them in. The shopping experience the new store will offer is unbeatable in West Cumbria. "Peter Tyson is known for TV and audio, but we also do appliances, and the new store will stock many different ranges. "And of course we are good value. We price-match and offer finance deals and free local delivery. "We will be open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, and there's ample free parking. We look forward to welcoming customers old and new from July 5." To celebrate the opening, there will be launch offers from household brands. Peter Tyson, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2026, is one of the UK's largest independent retailers online and also operates stores in Carlisle and Newcastle.
