The Range is a rapidly expanding, mixed-goods value superstore chain founded by chairman Chris Dawson in the late 1980s. The Range trades through more than 200 stores across the UK and Ireland, and has partnered with Iceland to roll out grocery concessions within its larger locations. Retail Week provides news, analysis, features and opinion about The Range and the value sector.
The retail group consisting of The Range, Wilko, and more recently Homebase, has seen a return to profit.
The Range and Wilko, both parented by CDS Superstores, are calling on landlords to support its acceleration of nationwide store openings.
Home and garden retailer Homebase is set to launch its website in Ireland, allowing Irish customers to shop and browse products online.
The Range said it has celebrated an “exceptional” start to the year and has completed the first phase of its former Homebase store conversions.
The Range has opened a new superstore format, featuring a ‘Kitchens by Homebase’ shop-in-shop for the first time.
