Retailer Matalan is opening four new stores across the country in November. This is part of the company’s investment plan to modernise Matalan’s stores and bring an improved shopping experience ahead of Christmas.
The new locations will be 100,000-sq-ft mega stores and will create 40 local jobs. The modern sites will feature brighter interiors, simpler layouts and enhanced visual merchandising. James Dorling, property director at Matalan, said: “Our stores play a huge role in how customers experience Matalan, so it’s essential that they reflect the improvements we’re making to our product and brand.
“That’s been the focus of our investment over the past two years – not just making stores look better, but making them easier to shop and better at showcasing what we have to offer.
“It’s about investing in the right locations, improving the shopping environments, and giving our customers even more reasons to choose Matalan.”
Dorling added: “The response to the changes we’ve made has been really positive, with Derby a particular highlight.
“The four openings this November mark another important milestone in our investment programme, and we’re delighted to be bringing the latest Matalan experience to more communities in time for Christmas.”
