Tapi opens new Edinburgh store on former Carpetright site

Tapi has opened a new store on the site of a former Carpetright shop in Edinburgh.

Situated at Hermiston Gait Retail Park, the new site adds to the carpet and flooring retailer’s portfolio of more than 215 stores across the UK.

Founded in 2015, Tapi acquired Carpetright in July 2024 when the company went into administration. The move included taking over 54 stores.

Jeevan Karir, chief executive of Tapi Carpets & Floors, said; “We’re thrilled to be opening our brand-new store in Edinburgh, giving local customers the chance to explore our extensive range of carpets, laminate, vinyl, luxury vinyl, and wood flooring.

“From timeless classics to on-trend designs, we’ve got something to suit every style, taste, and budget. Our friendly floorologist team are looking forward to welcoming customers through our doors, helping them find the perfect flooring to transform their homes.”
