The Range is having a great year. After rescuing one of the UK’s favourite discount retailers (or its brand, at least) in September, the home and garden superstore has announced that it’s expanding across the UK and adding to its 180-strong portfolio of British stores.
While plenty of high-street chains are closing down at the moment (see a full list of high-street closures in 2023 here), others are thriving. Brands like M&S, Aldi and Asda have all announced new store openings across the UK before the end of the year.
The Range will be opening five new branches across the nation by Christmas this year, allowing enough time for shoppers to glow-up their homes in time for the festive season.
These are all the new The Range stores, as well as when they’re expected to open.
