DFS has reopened 88 more showrooms from today.
The furniture retailer reopened three branches last week and revealed plans to open doors to more today, says the Manchester Evening News.
Customers can browse and shop in stores as normal but in the knowledge social distancing measures will be in place.
Staff have been trained on increased hygiene practices and the company will be conducting temperature checks every morning. Shoppers will also find hand sanitiser stations around stores and there will be a limit on the number of people allowed inside at one time.
Customers are still able to go to the store for a "comfort test" on the product they wish to buy, but they are also being asked to complete orders over the phone, through live chats or by going on the DFS website.
They have also introduced an appointment service for customers who want to seek advice and purchase furniture as quickly and efficiently as possible.
