To celebrate the refurbishments, New Look has been hosting activations in store across the sites planned for refurbs, with the high street chain gearing up for another busy Christmas trading period.
Jonathan Wynne, Business Development Manager at New Look: "Following the successful implementation of an Omnichannel trial within the Manchester region earlier this year, we are now phasing the rollout of a number of key initiatives, starting with the investment in a further 17 stores ahead of the busy Christmas trading period.
"The investment will include store refurbishments as well as improved product ranging and omnichannel services, with a focus on our smaller markets which provides a crucial role in connecting our customers, teams, product and services at a local level."
Key work that is set to be carried out in store includes:
Shop front redecoration
Window elevation including new POS schemes and Footwear focus
Internal wall treatments across key depts
Illuminated department lighting and full relighting throughout the store
Ceilings and walls converted from grey to white to improve in store environments
Refurbishment of all Footwear departments
Fitting room redecoration
New Look says the store expansions will offer more customers the opportunity to discover the quality products in omnichannel stores, as well as offering online click + collect.
