JD to expand across the UK and Ireland | Retail Bulletin

NEWSLETTER

From Cork to Wembley, the ‘King of Trainers’ will launch shops across a range of locations featuring DJ’s plus Ballnado and Batak activation games on opening weekends.

JD, the leading retailer of sports, fashion and lifestyle brands is set to open four new stores across the UK and Republic of Ireland this Summer.

New stores are due to launch in Lowestoft, Cork and Wembley in August and Sheffield in September as the retail giant continues its expansion into new locations.

JD will ensure local residents and buyers are provided with their fix of all their favourite brands including NikeAdidasThe North Face, and Under Armour, re-enforcing its ranking as the leading trainer and sports fashion retailer in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

To mark the store launches, JD is hosting several in-store experiences to engage consumers across the initial opening weekends. A live DJ plus a Batak game which challenges participants to hit as many lit up buttons as possible will be available to shoppers at JD’s Cork, Wembley and Sheffield stores.

For its opening weekend in August, JD’s new Lowestoft store will feature a Ballnado game where consumers can compete by collecting as many balls as possible. What’s more, the highest scorer at each opening will win JD gift cards at all locations. 

James Air, Director – Head of Group Acquisitions at JD said: “We’re keen to continue growing our presence within the UK and Republic of Ireland, so it’s fantastic to be launching four new stores this Summer. This expansion will enable us to carry on doing what we do best – serving our fans with a wealth of quality ranges across fashion, footwear, and accessories.”
