FatFace continues expansion with new store on the Isle of Man

British lifestyle brand FatFace, which was acquired by high street giant NEXT in October 2023 for £115 million, has opened a new 1,697 sq ft store on the Isle of Man.

Located at 67 Strand Street, Douglas, the opening follows hot on the heels of new FatFace store openings in Jersey and Westport on the west coast of Ireland in February 2025, and has created another eight new jobs.

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."

FatFace currently operates 192 stores in the UK, six stores in the Republic of Ireland and over 20 stores in the US and Canada.
