WE ARE MULTI-BRAND
In 2000 we instigated and trialled a concession arrangement with Karrimor. Its success led us to pioneer the first Karrimor brand store a year later, in the Lake District. This revolutionary store broke new ground, being one of the earliest dedicated brand stores in the UK outdoor industry. Within a year we opened a second store. Sadly, this hugely successful project was brought to a sudden end when Sports Direct bought the Karrimor brand.
In 2013 we opened a Timberland franchise store in York. The building presented some challenges as it dated from as early as the 14th Century. However, it provided a stunning environment in which to showcase this international brand.
Having surplus space, we split the Timberland store in 2014 to create a North Face franchise. Despite initial success, operational and strategic issues working with VF led to both our Timberland and The North Face stores closing in 2016.
