Castore is set to expand its physical retail offering with new stores set to open in Grafton Street, Dublin, and Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.

The retailer also launched a new store at Dubai Mall in UAE marking the brand’s “staggering expansion” into the Middle East.

The sportswear brand created by Wirral-based brothers Phil and Tom Beahon has seen rapid growth since its launch in 2015. It has opened more than 25 stores over the last 12 months.

Co-founder Tom Beahon said: “We are constantly thinking about our growth plans and brand expansion to ensure we’re edging closer to our mighty ambition for Castore to be the world’s number one premium sports brand.

“We are incredibly proud to announce these new store openings, alongside the introduction of our store in Dubai Mall, which allows us to make our mark in the Middle East and be in the good company of many prestigious brands.”

He added: “We’re thrilled to also be investing in our HQ in Manchester and expanding our team. We have exciting plans for 2024 and can’t wait to take our employees and customers on this journey with us as we continue to grow.

“It’s a very exciting time for Castore, as we’re determined to continue this growth trajectory and position the brand as a key player in the retail sports market, locally in Manchester, nationally and overseas too.”
