The store expansion plans follow the retailer’s recent openings in Ireland’s Newbridge in June, Bracknell in September and Brighton in November. New locations confirmed this year include Southampton and Plymouth.
It will also relocate and upsize in existing centres including Liverpool One and Lakeside shopping centre. Quiz currently has 62 stores in the UK and eight in Ireland.
Ramzan said the retailer will focus on acquiring stores in shopping centres.
However, it will also open on the high street and other centres as long as it can find the right occupational costs.
