The Range's relentless drive to hit its 100-store target this side of Christmas continues, with three more outlets due to launch within the next two weeks.
This Friday sees the retailer open in Aberdeen and Sunderland, with founder and owner Chris Dawson promising to be at both events. He will be joined at the Scottish store by TV's home improvement celebrity Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, and Northsound Radio will be broadcasting from the new store.

In Sunderland the opening will be performed by the Mayor of Sunderland, Councillor Stuart Porthouse, and Metro Radio will be providing the entertainment.

Then next Friday The Range opens in Torquay, with both Mr Dawson and the Mayor of Torquay, Gordon Oliver, in attendance.

Other attractions at the openings include vouchers to be won and prizes for customers at the front of the queue.
