Excess stock has been moved out of the store to an offsite location, enabling the remaining items to be spread out, with wide aisles for one-way access round the store.
Contactless card payment is preferred, although cash payment for items is still accepted.
John Whitehouse at Kenilworth Lions said: "Customers are able to take purchases away in their own vehicles the same day, or alternatively we can arrange delivery of larger items during the following week.

"With other second-hand furniture outlets in Kenilworth closing their doors, the message from Kenilworth Lions is that they're definitely open for business, and intend to stay that way."
