A spokesperson from the company said, “Other shops have been trailed in the town over the years, but the original site has proven to be home.”
The family-run business currently employs over 40 people, including three generations of Baxters.
As part of the 40th anniversary the showroom was decorated with blue, yellow and gold balloons while ‘DB cakes’ were created by a local baker.
