Bathroom retail chain Ripples has kicked off 2025 by opening a new showroom in Norwich, which takes its total number of UK retail locations up to 21.
Located on Norwich’s Unthank Road, the new showroom features an array of products from some of Europe’s leading luxury bathroom brands. According to the retailer, this includes the likes of hand-painted boat baths, stylish concrete basins, brushed gold brassware and marble tiles.
Ripples says its showrooms are designed to serve as showcases to spark the imaginations of clients, who are then guided by its in-store design team to create their bespoke bathroom solutions.
The Ripples retail chain was founded in 1988 by Roger and Sandra Kyme with a single store in Bath, and has since grown to encompass a nationwide showroom network. The brand has also been recognised as one of the UK’s top franchise businesses for multiple years in a row.
Owner and director of Ripples Norwich, Liam Corcoran, commented: “Having gained nearly 20 years’ experience within the bathroom industry, I understand the importance of every part of the process; from sourcing quality products and creating inspiring designs, right the way through to the final installation. I’m looking forward to bringing my knowledge and passion for bathrooms to Norwich and to be doing so with the support of the wider Ripples family.”
Ripples opened its milestone 20th showroom at the end of 2023, with the opening of its Tunbridge Wells and Lindfield showrooms. In other news, Imran Azam, who runs Ripples showrooms in both Wokingham and Beaconsfield, recently appeared on an episode of The kbbreview Podcast to discuss the rise of franchising in the KBB market.
