Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Wren Kitchens has announced the closure of its U.S. showrooms and design studios, effectively exiting the U.S. market. Several outlets in the Northeast (including Connecticut locations such as Milford and Newington) were affected, with showrooms and design studios told they are now closed. The firm indicated it would focus on its UK operations going forward.[2][3][4]
-
Reported closures span multiple states and outlets, including showrooms in Milford, Waterford, and Newington, with customers and employees impacted as operations were shut down abruptly. Local outlets and community updates highlighted customers left seeking alternative options and staff management notes.[4][2]
-
Coverage from trade and local news outlets notes that Wren Kitchens’ U.S. pause appears to be a complete withdrawal from the market, with some articles referencing a trustee process or formal exit in line with U.S. regulations. The company has directed inquiries via its U.S. site/form.[3][7]
If you’d like, I can compile a concise country-by-country timeline and map of affected showrooms, plus advise on next steps for customers with pending orders or incomplete designs. I can also monitor for updates and provide a follow-up brief with citations.
