GO Outdoors is opening 13 new express-style stores across the North West of England and North Wales. These smaller, high street-style stores represent an expansion of the GO Outdoors estate, following an extremely successful couple of years for the retailer.
The new stores will enable shoppers to pick up specialist outdoor clothing and equipment in convenient high street locations.
Although the stores are more compact than traditional GO Outdoors super-stores, a full range of stock will be available to order for collection via in store ordering, including tents and camping equipment, fishing, equestrian and climbing equipment.
Each store will stock a variety of unbeatable brands, such as Rab, OEX and Berghaus, as well as trusted brands like Peter Storm, HiGear and Brasher.
Store colleagues will also be on hand to offer expert advice and provide services like boot and rucksack fitting for customers.
Stores opening in Greater Manchester and Lancashire:
- Blackpool: 47-49 Victoria St, FY1 4RJ Opens 28/11/22
- Altrincham: 72 George St, WA14 1RF Opens 29/11/22
John Hinde, Retail Director for GO Outdoors comments: “We are extremely excited and proud to be able to expand GO Outdoors onto the high street in this way in Lancashire and Greater Manchester, and to serve customers within the convenience of their new local store.
“We have had a brilliant couple of years at GO, as more and more people are reaping the benefits of the outdoors for their physical and mental well-being, and this expansion is the outcome of that success.
“We’re looking forward to offering more customers our unbeatable range of outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment, whilst also supporting local communities and high streets”.
GO Outdoors Express has secured 14 job roles in Greater Manchester and Lancashire and replaces the Millets stores.
The company plans to continue the expansion of GO Outdoors Express across the country early next year.
Elsewhere, GO Outdoors has invested in 8 new and refreshed super-stores so far this year, with a further 2 planned before 2023.
