In the six months to August 27th, pre-tax profit rose by 18% to £4.7 million as the company continued to grow by opening 18 new stores.
Mountain Warehouse operates 70 outlets overseas and is looking to enter Holland and the Czech Republic next year.
During the period, online sales increased by 18.5%. In addition to the UK, the company has dedicated country-specific websites now trading in Australia, Canada, the US, Germany, Poland and France.
Mountain Warehouse’s founder and chief executive, Mark Neale said: “We are investing in new stores, expanding our online offer and exploring new territories. We have also taken the decision to extend roll out our popular Zakti brand to stores across the country. We believe this will help widen our appeal still further and reach new customers. Finally, we are also gearing up for Black Friday which we expect to be incredibly busy and fire the starting gun for the run-up to Christmas.”
