After 1 year of trading in Southport, Whittakers Schoolwear are celebrating their record breaking success
THE shop (formerly Rawcliffes) was acquired by Lancashire firm Whittakers Schoolwear when the owners of Rawcliffes went into administration. Since the store's acquisition in May last year, the Southport branch of Whittakers Schoolwear has gone from strength to strength; saving local jobs, ensuring a large landmark town centre retail site is thriving and breaking previous sales and footfall records within its 1st year.
"Recent visitors to the shop have been surprised to see how much we have invested in and changed the store which shows our commitment to the Southport branch and is a mark of their success. Customers have noticed we are now able to hold more stock and a wider range of products, while still holding true to our belief in Quality and Value." explains Managing Director, John Hutchinson.
"Southport branch has continued to increase the number of local schools it serves and also brings customers into the Town from Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Lancashire and Liverpool. That has to be good news for Southport's Town Centre." explains Sales Director, Bradley Hutchinson.
"With more local schools waiting in the wings to be served by Whittakers Southport, we are justifiably proud of their first year success and it's great to be part of a good news story." added John Hutchinson.
