...instore was a chain of retail stores in the United Kingdom selling a range of products and principally concentrating on value home-ware items. The company was headquartered in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire but did not have a store in the town: the nearest was away at Ravensthorpe Shopping Park, Dewsbury. The company had over 5,000 employees. ==Instore plc's corporate history.== Instore plc, formerly Brown & Jackson plc, was the parent company of "...instore", operating 340 stores across the UK also including Poundstretcher- and Ponden Mill-branded sites. The ...instore name was created as part of a major rebranding of the existing, value-led Poundstretcher business that had been trading since 1981. In September 2002 the company concluded a programme of rebranding half its Poundstretcher stores as "...instore" in an attempt to reposition the business as a more mid-market retailer. Trading subsidiaries What Everyone Wants, Your More Stores and the Famous Brunswick Shoe Warehouse were also disposed of at this time. In July 2005 the company adopted the name of Instore plc, replacing the previous Brown & Jackson plc name. In 2006, a new chief executive concluded that the re-branding was not working and from 2007, new stores were opened as Poundstretcher stores. In January 2008, the company acquired 33 Ponden Mill stores under license from the administrators of the company, along with some rights to the Coloroll brand. The company continued to operate both ...instore and Poundstretcher brands, but as of 2009 has reverted its core estate to the Poundstretcher brand.〔http://www.poundstretcher.co.uk/pdf/AnnualReport09.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「...instore」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
