Footwear retailer, JD Sports has announced that it will increase its physical footprint with the addition of new stores in Perth and Brisbane over the coming months.

The 1350sqm Brisbane store is slated to be a flagship location for the brand and will be the brand's largest retail location in Australia.

 

The Perth store represents the group's first move into Western Australia to capitalise on strong online results for the region.

 

Both stores will highlight a number of sold out releases from 2018 and will also include a number of exclusives across footwear and apparel for both regions.

 

JD Sports currently operates nine retail stores along the Eastern seaboard since launching in April 2017.

 

The launch of the Perth store is scheduled for August 30, while the Brisbane launch is planned for September 20.

 

JD Sports Australia head, Hilton Seskin, said the moves were based on consumer interest in the two regions and that the brand would look to continue expansions in the athleisure space.

 

“The expansion into Brisbane and Perth showcases JD Sports' unprecedented growth in the athleisure space.

 

“Our stores offer something completely unique to the consumer which is evident by overachieving initial forecasts and retail expansion in a time where other brands are reducing their store presence.”
