A new bespoke kitchen design showroom has opened in the former Biggers of Bailgate shop in Lincoln after a £135,000 investment.
The new store officially opened its doors on July 19 after a four month conversion the former kitchen supplies store.
The kitchen showroom has a new shop front in keeping with the design of the Bailgate area.
Jamie Krantz, Managing Director of Krantz Designs said: “The company is now in its 14th year and we are very excited to have opened our first showroom in such a wonderful location in the Bailgate.
“Although we realise that a lot of locals will sorely miss Biggers, who had been there for 70 years, we hope that we will be as successful and loved as they have been.”

Krantz Designs have featured on Channel 4’s ‘Double Your House For Half The Money’ with Sarah Beeny, and two years ago it was featured at the Grand Designs exhibition, winning the Grand Designs Magazine award for innovation.
“We have spent £135,000 in total and have already recruited another two full time designers for the showroom and we will be recruiting another early next year. We are also looking for part time staff for weekends,” Jamie added.
“Historically, Krantz Designs has worked all over the UK, we are hoping to generate more local work through the new showroom.”
“I believe Lincoln to be such an exciting place. There is always so much going on in the Bailgate and Castle Square.”

A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
