Over the next four years Planet Organic are to double their store numbers shrugging off high street woes.
The retailer intend to expand to around 18 stores in their portfolio. Sales for the year jumped 8% to ยฃ35.1m.
Chairman Ben Thomson said, โWe see a retailer like ourselves being a strong part of the high street offering for many years to come.
โWe are in talks over four potential locations at the minute. We donโt know if these will all come off, but there is a clear appetite from landlords to bring in our stores.
โChristmas was good for us and January has started really strong as well, so we have a great platform for 2020.โ
Thomson added, โWe are odd in retail in that we tend to do very well in January. Veganuary, health kicks, dieting efforts at the start of the year are all things that tie very well to our brand and the products we sell.
โWe are growing with the trend for healthy, organic, plant-based food.
โWe are already where the trend is growing so that puts in a great position growth-wise โ everyone knows demand for these products is out there.โ
