Crew Clothing targets 20 new openings in 2025
Crew Clothing is looking to open at least 20 new stores in 2025, as the fashion retailer reports strong growth during the Christmas period.
The brand – which opened 15 stores in 2024 – has already confirmed that it will be opening stores this year in Kendal and Keswick, both in Cumbria, whilst also undertaking a number of refits.
This comes as Crew Clothing reported “exceptional growth” over the festive trading period, with sales increasing by 45% year-on-year during the two weeks to Christmas Eve.
Net sales within the retailer’s store estate were up by 22%, whilst third party sales increased by 34%, bolstered by partnerships with M&S and John Lewis.
Crew Clothing’s results for the fourth quarter as a whole saw a total like-for-like sales increase of 17%, with the retailer reporting a record Black Friday period during which total sales grew by 23%.
The retailer said: “With strong results, a clear growth strategy, and unwavering support for British retail and sports, Crew Clothing is well-positioned for further success in 2025.”
