The first pre-Christmas store will open in Lincoln on 5 December, followed by Silverburn shopping centre, Glasgow, and Altrincham, Greater Manchester, on 13 December.
Store relocations include the Westgate Oxford shopping centre, which will also open on 13 December, and a move in London’s Tottenham Court Road , opening on 19 December.
In addition, 20 store openings are planned for next year, as it seeks to expand into both “established and emerging” retail destinations across the UK and Ireland.
It noted each new location would reflect its design ethos, “providing uplifting and stimulating spaces filled with colour, creativity, character and inspiration”.
Having opened its first store in 1993 the group now has over from 90 stores in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
The company recently filed its accounts for 2024 and while its profits fell, the company remains profitable and its sales rose, with the second half of the year seeing like-for-like sales turning positive.
