SOFA retailer ScS has reopened all 81 stores in England - but shops in Scotland and Wales remain shut.
The homeware chain confirmed the news in an update on its website.
All reopened stores will have strict safety measures in place to keep staff and customers safe.
This includes asking shoppers to keep two metres apart, and limiting the number of customers allowed in stores at one time.
There will also be hand sanitiser stations located around shops, plus customers will be asked to pay with contactless or card where possible.
ScS cafes will remain shut for now.
Core opening times for reopened stores are 10am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm on Saturday and 11am to 5pm on Sunday.
ScS hasn’t said when it’ll reopen shops in Scotland and Wales, but it’s telling customers to keep an eye on its website and social media pages.
It comes after the government announced it was easing restrictions on homeware retailers and garden centres.
Other chains to reopen include Dfs, Dunelm, Furniture Village and Ikea.
