Queensway was a retailer in the United Kingdom that specialised in the sale of carpets and furniture.
It was a pioneer of out of town shopping and one of the first retailers in the U.K. to sell directly to customers from a warehouse.
On 20 December 1985, Queensway opened a store at the Merry Hill Shopping Centre in the West Midlands, becoming one of the complex's first tenants and following the trend of big retail names moving to out-of-town outlets which began around this time.
Within four years it was part of Europe's largest indoor shopping centre.
Lowndes Queensway went bankrupt in 1992 as a result of the downturn in sales brought on by the recession, but later became part of Allied Carpets.
