Mountain Warehouse to move to former Outfit unit in Hereford

The outdoor retailer currently has 'relocation' signage at its High Town site. 

A spokesperson for the company confirmed it will be moving to the former Outfit unit at Old Market in late June. 

The premises has been vacant for the past two years after the fashion retailer decided to close it. It was one of the Old Market's first stores to open in 2014.

Mountain Warehouse sells equipment for hiking, camping, skiing, cycling, running and fitness. It was founded in 1997 by Mark Neale and now has over 330 stores in the UK, Europe, New Zealand and North America.

Last February, the retailer was told it could expand into the unit next door in High Town. 

Herefordshire Council granted planning permission and listed building consent so that Mountain Warehouse could knock through into the old GAME unit, with that chain owned by Mike Ashley moving the new Sports Direct in Commercial Street.

With Utopia women's clothing shop ceasing trading in the former GAME unit next door, Mountain Warehouse wanted to expand and trade from the combined ground floor.
