Floors 2 Go ends takeover talks

Monday March 21st 2005

No deal for expanding retailer

Floors 2 Go has ended takeover talks with a potential buyer of the expanding business.

The UK's leading specialist retailer of laminate and wooden flooring said talks have now ceased r egarding a possible offer for the company as it has been unable to reach an agreement on a price that it believes "reflects the true value of the business".

The company said in December it had been approached by a private equity firm interested in acquiring the business. One newspaper report named the potential buyer as Apax Partners, the acquisitive private fund which is courting Woolworths and has just agreed a deal to buy Hit Entertainment.

Floors 2 Go has 125 outlets including concessions and said earlier this month that its expansion plans remain on track despite the current consumer downturn affecting the UK retail sector.
