Bite founder and managing director Mark McGowan wants to open five stores this year. He said: “We’ve got a growth appetite. We’re in a niche market, but now we’re taking it to the mid-market. There’s no point in opening one store in England – our plan is to open 10 in the North and also to look at making acquisitions.”
The retailer revealed its new larger-format store in October at the Braehead shopping centre in Glasgow. It is also moving into a larger unit at the Gyle centre in Edinburgh.
The larger-format store includes a department for the brand Vans. Bite has four stores in Scotland and will open a further shop in Aberdeen, also featuring a Vans department.
