The Original Factory Shop has opened its 200th store as it continues with its ambitious expansion plans.
The latest opening is in Ringwood, Hampshire, and means the discount retailer is on track to open 25 outlets during 2023.
After a difficult few years, The Original Factory Shop has started expanding its presence again on major high streets. Many of the new shops are in units previously occupied by M&Co, the women’s clothing retailer that collapsed into administration at the end of last year.
The stores offer leading household names across a range of clothing, homewares, FMCG and beauty categories.
Phil Briggs, Managing Director of The Original Factory Shop, said: “To have grown so quickly over the last few years is testament to both our colleagues and customers. The opening of our 200th branch is the latest milestone in our expansion plans, and like all The Original Factory Shop stores, it will benefit from great product choice and deliver good value.”
NAM Implications:
- A retail business model built for the ‘uncertain’ New Norm.
- So if any of your categories fit…
- …worth a try.
