Littlewoods is embarking on a store refurbishment programme after reporting sales up 5% in the six months to end of October.
The retail chain, owned by the Barclay brothers, has spent several million pounds reworking six stores from a portfolio of 119.
It expects to revamp five more stores for Easter, with the rest converted within two and a half years at most.
New sites will be considered at that stage.
