Store Expansion Programme Continues With
Sixth New Store Opening This Year
Seventh Store on Track, Taking Network to 19 Stores
Fishing Republic, the fishing tackle retailer, is pleased to
announce the opening of its sixth 'destination' store since January
2017. Located in Gloucester the new store, which opened on 12
August 2017, expands Fishing Republic's presence in the West of
England.
The 6,000 sq ft store follows the Company's expansion into East
Anglia and Essex, with new store openings in Kings Lynn and
Clavering Lakes in recent months. An additional store opening, in
Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, is planned for the end of August and
will increase the Company's store network to 19.
All the stores replicate the Company's 'destination' store
format, catering for all types of fishing disciplines with an
extensive product range, and are located in light-industrial
estates with convenient access and good car parking facilities. The
new stores will also help drive online sales, as Fishing Republic
continues to execute its multi-channel growth model.
Steve Gross, CEO of Fishing Republic, commented:
"Fishing Republic has significantly expanded its store network
over the last few months and I am delighted to announce our latest
store opening, in line with our expansion plans for the year.
Located in Gloucester, it increases our presence in the West of
England. By the end of August, a further store opening in
Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire will complement our existing presence
in that region and take our expanding network to 19 stores."
