A well-known store is preparing to open new branches in Cumbria.

Homeware and essentials store, The Range, is set to open new shops in three locations across Cumbria.

Alongside their current stores in Barrow-in-Furness and Carlisle, they have their sights set on opening stores in Workington, Kendal and Windermere.

The Range said: “The Range is currently going through a period of mass expansion and growth in the UK and Ireland and welcomes landlord and developer interest.”

It said it was now one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK and has invited interested property owners and landlords to get in touch.
