Value variety chain The Range has been a part of British retail since it first opened its doors in 1989 under its previous name, CDS Superstores, and is best known for its assortment of home, leisure and garden products.

After keeping a relatively low profile, the retailer hit the headlines in September when it was announced that it would acquire Wilko’s brand, website and intellectual property for the sum of £5m, and it resumed online trading in mid-October.
