David Walton, head of retail at Harris Lamb, said: “99p Stores is a fast-growing empire, with footfall of more than two million customers every week. The business is now keen to increase its footprint across the UK, and has retained us, along with Norbury Sansom in the South of England, Fletcher Morgan in Wales and Wright Buchanan in Scotland, to help identify sites to help them do so.
“We’re now using our knowledge of the UK market to identify high street, shopping centre and retail park locations in major towns and cities that will make suitable additions to the chain.”
99p Stores wanst to move into locations that benefit from high customer footfall with national retailer brands situated close by.
