Crew Clothing to open 40 new stores by 2025
British lifestyle brand Crew Clothing has revealed plans to open 40 new stores in the next three years, focusing on market towns and coastal resorts.
Speaking to The Times, David Butler, CEO of Crew Clothing, said: “We have to react to customer behaviour and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that people are shopping in stores again. Our footfall is back to pre-pandemic levels.”
“It’s why Marks & Spencer is investing in stores,” he added, noting M&S’s plans for 20 new sites.
Further details about store plans will be revealed in the future as plans are solidified.
Last month, Crew Clothing reported that overall online sales grew by 15% in the 2022 Christmas trading period compared to 2021 levels, benefitting from its third party partnerships with retailers including John Lewis, NEXT and Very.
