Next: One of the UK's Leading Fashion Retailers
Headquartered in Enderby in Leicestershire, Next is a hugely popular retail chain in the UK that offers fashionable clothing ranges for men, women, and children. Selling everything from jumpers, jeans, suits, dresses, blouses, jackets, shoes, lingerie, and even beauty products, it is one of the most recognisable names on the UK high streets. Listed on the London Stock Exchange, the company is the biggest clothing retailer in the UK in terms of sales and now has more than 700 stores worldwide, with more than 500 of those in Britain. The retailer has its own unique style, and clothes purchased here are usually a little bit more expensive thanks to the quality of the materials used. Stores are usually located across multiple floors in shopping centres and high streets, and for this reason there are separate Men, Women, and Children sections. The brand is popular for the smart casual look and carries a range of evening wear for both men and women.
Of the 500+ branches in the UK, most will be found in major cities such as London, Birmingham, Leeds, and Newcastle, whether on the high street or in large shopping centres. Most larger towns across the UK will also have a branch somewhere close by, and these are easily recognisable due to the well-known white logo on a black background. More than 200 stores can also be found all across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
Opening times of Next branches are standardised across most locations with hours of operation usually between 9 AM to 8 PM Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 7 PM on Saturdays, and 10.30 AM to 4.30 PM on Sundays. Of course, holidays such as Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, and bank holidays will see a change to the regular opening times due to local and national regulations. Some store closing times vary because of their location within a shopping centre; however, ones on the high street may be more flexible.

Despite being one of the UK’s most recognisable clothing stores, there are some things about the brand that many people do not know. Here are five of those little-known facts:
- The company is more than 150 years old, having been founded in 1864
- People in more than 70 countries worldwide can buy their clothing online
- The retailer became the UK's largest clothing retailer in 2012 when it overtook Marks & Spencer
- They have stores in Africa
- Over 43,000 people are employed worldwide
Initially focusing purely on stylish and affordable women’s clothing, the company then expanded to offer clothing for both men and children. As of now, their clothing categories include women, lingerie, men, girls, boys, and shoes. T-shirts, shirts, jeans, suits, blouses, swimwear and hats, shoes, and accessories are just some of the wide range of clothing that the retailer sells to its army of customers.
They also offer products for the home such as furniture, electrical appliances, tableware, and bedding; beauty products such as make-up, fragrances, and men's grooming products; and sports goods such as football boots, trainers, and gym wear. They also sell goods online and via a catalogue service called the NEXT Directory, which gives customers up to 1,000 pages of products that they can purchase.
The company participates in customer loyalty schemes, offering their own cards and also with the purchase of gift cards from other retailers. They have expanded into their own app, which allows users to get up-to-date offers and discounts, sometimes with “push” technology in store that will pop up an offer to a customer that is already shopping.
Initially formed and launched in 1864 as J Hepworth & Son, it was not until 1981 when the company bought the Kendalls chain of rainwear shops and turned them into 70 womenswear shops within a year. Two years later, they expanded by opening 52 menswear stores across the UK, and just two years later J Hepworth & Son officially changed their name to NEXT plc.
Childrenswear and the NEXT catalogue were to follow just a couple of years later, and by 1994, due to massive growth and success, there were now more than 300 stores on high streets up and down the UK. They then switched their main focus to providing online shopping options for consumers in the early 2000s, adding yet another solid string to their bow. 2015 saw them add their 546th store as they look to expand their presence on a more global scale.
