Leekes is an award-winning, family-owned business that has been part of British life for more than 125 years. Its story began in South Wales in 1897, when James Henry Leeke opened a small ironmongery shop. From those modest beginnings, the company has grown into one of the UK’s leading independent home department stores, trusted by generations of customers.
The Leekes store on Beanacre Road in Melksham has proudly served the community for over 30 years and continues to play a key role within the business. In Autumn 2025, the store unveiled a fresh new look following a major refurbishment, demonstrating the company’s ongoing investment in the area and commitment to providing customers with an improved shopping experience. Alongside Melksham, Leekes also operates stores in Llantrisant, Cross Hands, Cheltenham and Bilston, as well as the Park Furnishers store in Bristol.
Across these locations, shoppers can explore an extensive range of products designed to enhance every part of the home. This includes kitchens, bathrooms, furniture, flooring, home furnishings and décor, as well as conservatories, glazing and other home improvement solutions. Customers continue to value the blend of leading brands, expert advice and the personal service that remain at the heart of the Leekes experience.
With deep community roots, Leekes proudly supports local events and organisations. Its partnership with the Avon Valley Runners Wiltshire Half Marathon reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles while giving back to the communities it serves.
