The Range has announced a new concept of stores in Cornwall. The Range on the Beach, which will have more seasonal opening hours than the larger outlets in the UK, will be tested out for the first time in Cornwall next year in time for the new tourist season.

In addition, three new full-sized stores will be opened in Cornwall over the next two years and 300 new jobs created – in Bude, Newquay and either Bodmin or Camborne. The Range already has stores in Penzance, Truro and St Austell.

"We've opened 20 stores to date this year with three more to come before the end of the year," said founder Chris Dawson.
