Hobbs is shopping for better sites following a string of closures.
The upmarket women’s clothing chain, which closed stores in London’s Bloomsbury, Victoria and Islington in recent weeks, has seven new locations confirmed for this year, including at Canary Wharf in east London, Watford in Hertfordshire and Trafford in Manchester.
It will also open a clutch of stores internationally, bringing its total number to about 80.
