Outdoor products retailer hits the high streets with express-style stores

Outdoor products retailer, GO Outdoors, is opening two new express-style stores in West Yorkshire.

The smaller, high street-style stores represent an expansion of the GO Outdoors estate, following a successful two years for the business.

The new stores in New Street, Huddersfield and Crown Street, Halifax have secured 13 job roles and will stock specialist outdoor clothing and equipment.

Although these branches are more compact than traditional GO Outdoors super-stores, a full range of stock will be available to order for collection via in-store ordering, including tents and camping equipment, fishing, equestrian and climbing equipment.

Lee Bagnall, CEO, said: “We are extremely excited and proud to be able to expand GO Outdoors onto the high streets in Yorkshire and to serve customers within the convenience of their new local store.

“We have had a brilliant couple of years at GO, as more and more people are reaping the benefits of the outdoors for their physical and mental well-being, and this expansion is the outcome of that success.

“We’re looking forward to offering more customers our unbeatable range of outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment, while also supporting local communities and high streets.”

He added the company plans to continue the expansion of its express branches across the country throughout the year.
