Cousins Furniture store appeared on Coronation Street recently when Anna and Eddie Windass bought their new sofa from John Stape.
And since the store appeared on screens, sales have shot up as Corrie fans flocked to Cousins stores last weekend. One person even snapped up a £6,000 Tokyo sofa at the Manchester store after it appeared on the show (pictured left).
Cousins managing director Robert Shotton, a lifelong Coronation Street fan, said the filming had not only been good fun, it had also been very good for business.
“Featuring on Coronation Street has been a brilliant opportunity for all three stores, as since the episodes aired and a Coronation Street fan site revealed where they were filmed, hundreds of fans have visited all three stores,” he said. “It was also a dream come true for me as I am a huge Coronation Street fan and rarely miss an episode.”
