Castore pushes forward with expansion drive
Premium sportswear brand Castore is continuing to expand with new store openings in the UK, Ireland and the Middle East.
Founded in 2015 by Wirral-based brothers Phil and Tom Beahon, the brand has recently announced plans to open new stores in Dublin and the Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.
Both shops will offer Castore’s latest collections for men and women, and teamwear for Mclaren and Redbull, as well as FAI and Leinster merchandise.
In addition, the brand has recently ventured into the Middle East with a new store at the Dubai Mall.
In the last 12 months, Castore has opened more than 25 retail sites.
Tom Beahon said: “We are constantly thinking about our growth plans and the brand expansion, to ensure we’re edging closer to our mighty ambition for Castore to be the world’s number one premium sports brand.
“We are incredibly proud to announce these new store openings, alongside the introduction of our store within Dubai Mall, allowing us to make our mark in the Middle East and be surrounded in good company of many prestigious brands.”
Castore will also be expanding its head office in central Manchester with the introduction of an in-house store concept offering a dual use for retail visual merchandising.
Beahon added: “We’re thrilled to also be investing into our HQ in Manchester and expanding our team. We have exciting plans for 2024 and can’t wait to take our employees and customers on this journey with us as we continue to grow.
“It’s a very exciting time for Castore, as we’re determined to continue this growth trajectory and position the brand as a key player in the retail sports market, both locally in Manchester, nationally and overseas too.”
