For the last 50 years we have had a simple philosophy for business – providing an inspirational shopping experience and unriv ... alled product range authority, coupled with exceptional convenience. It's this policy that's made Topps Britain's biggest tile specialist group with over 330 stores nationwide and it underpins the Topps Tiles’ strategy; to increase profitable market share through inspiring customers with amazing choice & exceptional levels of service. Topps Tiles opened its first store in 1963 in Sale, Manchester and then continued to open stores across the North West and Midlands. In 1990, Topps Tiles merged with Tile Kingdom and consequently expanded its presence into the South and London. Topps Tiles continued to grow following the merger and became a public limited company (PLC) in 1997. Today, Topps Tiles operates from over 340 UK based stores and is renowned for its large edge-of-town store formats. While there remain many parts of the country with the potential for Topps to expand its store network, availability of suitable sites can be a constraint on growth. To address this, Topps Tiles developed a new smaller store format which offers a sub-set of the Topps range with very high levels of in-store service. The new format, branded Topps Tiles Boutique launched in January 2014 and aims to bring the best of Topps Tiles product range to the high street. The launch is a significant step in demonstrating Topps Tiles’ commitment to making its market leading product range and exceptional levels of in-store expertise even more convenient to both home improvement enthusiasts and trade professionals. read more
