Go Outdoors is an outdoor equipment superstore chain, established in its current form in 2004, and
originally focused on camping and footwear. Since 2008, the business has evolved to cover the entire
outdoor equipment market and has 55 stores across the UK. In November 2016, Go Outdoors has been
acquired by JD Sports for £112.3 million subject to approval by the Competition Markets Authority. JD Sports
already own outdoor market retailers Blacks, Millets and Tiso. Their acquisition of Go Outdoors is thought
to strengthen their outdoor offer, particularly out-of-town.

The subject property is the only Go Outdoors store in Leicestershire, with their next closest stores being in
Derby and Nottingham, 15 miles north west and 17 miles north respectively.
