Family-run furniture store goes up for sale
A popular family-run furniture and homeware store based in the Milkhope Centre close to Newcastle has been put up for sale.
Cane and Pine Design started life as a small shop on Stowell Street in Newcastle which specialised in cane furniture. It relocated to the Milkhope Centre in 1999.
The business stocks and sells a range of products including lighting, pictures, cards, mars and artisan pieces, alongside its ranges of oak, rubber wood and teak furniture.
Set within the restored 19th century buildings of a former model cattle farm, the Milkhope Centre is an established out of town destination, complete with coffee shop, farm shop, art gallery, and retail outlets.
Robert O'Brien, senior agent at Christie & Co, is managing the sale process. He said: "Cane & Pine presents an exciting opportunity for a new operator to take over a well-established business with a loyal customer base and years of repeat trade.
“Located within the popular Milkhope Centre, a vibrant hub of independent retailers, this business offers not just commercial potential but the chance to embrace a rewarding lifestyle change."
