One lucky customer visiting a Birmingham furniture store got
more than she bargained for recently.
Cookes Furniture Store, on Goosemoor Lane, Erdington, held a
Spring Preview Event recently to launch the store's Spring Savings
Campaign.
The event proved to be a great success for one shopper in
particular, who won a brand new piece of furniture worth
£799.
Mrs Valerie Edwards, from Sutton Coldfield, had been browsing in
Cookes Furniture store during the spring preview event, but having
left the shop, she remembered she hadn't entered the stores prize
draw.
Mrs Edwards promptly returned to post her entry - and luckily
enough, she ended up as the winner of an Ekornes Stressless
Atlantic chair & stool worth £799.
"I am thrilled and delighted to win. I have never won anything
before. I am slightly surprised though, as I thought the prize was
a garden chair!" - said Mrs Edwards.
The prize draw was part of a promotion by Cookes Furniture to
advertise its spring savings campaign.
The event, held on Tuesday March 15, saw customers enjoy a glass
of bubbly, whilst browsing through the store.
Visitors were also given an exclusive preview of the stores new
spring range, and the event included performances by Frank Sinatra
impersonator Phil Fryer - who performed several Sinatra favourites
for shoppers including "It's nice to go travelling", "Fly me to the
moon" and "Come fly with me".
