FatFace has expanded its store network with the opening of a new location in Douglas, marking its first presence on the Isle of Man. The launch represents a key development for the retailer as it continues to build its physical footprint across the British Isles.
Located on Strand Street, the newly opened store spans 1,697 square feet and offers customers access to FatFace’s current seasonal collection, along with staple items from its core range. The store design incorporates a sustainable approach, with a focus on repurposing elements of the existing shop fit in line with the brand’s environmental values.
As part of this latest opening, eight new roles have been created locally. Staff at the Isle of Man store will benefit from a suite of employment perks including generous in-store discounts, access to well-being resources, flexible working conditions, and a variety of professional development opportunities.
Karen Johnston, Stores Director at FatFace, said:
“We are thrilled to open our first-ever store on the Isle of Man at such a prime location on Strand Street. This is an exciting opportunity for us to connect with a new community and bring our unique range of products to customers in Douglas. We are extremely proud to be a B Corp and this store reflects those values by reusing much of the existing shop fit. We can’t wait to welcome customers through our doors.”
This latest store is part of FatFace’s broader expansion strategy, complementing its existing presence in the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and North America. The brand currently operates six stores in the Republic of Ireland, 192 across the UK, and more than 20 across the US and Canada.
As a certified B Corp, FatFace aligns its business operations with a focus on three core pillars: product, planet, and community. The new Isle of Man store illustrates the company’s intention to blend commercial growth with social and environmental accountability.
