After reporting on a tough half earlier this week, Debenhams is now thought to be re-evaluating its presence on the high street and looking to add up to 70 new stores to its current portfolio.
According to the Guardian, Debenhams is also now looking to improve its multichannel offering as it emerged shoppers that use both its stores and websites spend more than twice as much as those who shop only in stores or only online.
Debenhams chief executive Michael Sharp said that Cribbs Causeway in Bristol, Bluewater in Kent, Kingston upon Thames in Surrey and Watford were all potential locations for new Debenhams stores. Debenhams is already planning to open 17 new stores by 2017, including in Cheshire Oaks, Hereford and Leamington Spa. |
