Managing director Phil Briggs said: “Our shops sit at the heart of local life, making a difference in communities.
"This commitment to store opening targets over the next three years is testament to the importance of convenience stores and the role that our shops play in local life and will help provide more job opportunities locally at a time when they need them most."
The firm says: “We retail a wide variety of goods for all ages and genders including clothing, footwear, cosmetics and fragrance, fashion accessories, electrical goods, housewares, home furnishings and toys.”
The shop pledges to bring customers “big brands at bargain prices” to Britain’s local high streets.
“We source “must buy” quality ranges at unbelievable prices, bringing out the bargain lover in everyone so we can satisfy our customers.
“With stores nationwide, we bring our customers big brands up to 70% off across multiple departments including fashion, beauty, home and more.
“High street cut price labels were how we started the business and still form a part of our range today.”
