CEX in new stores blitz

Second-hand specialist Computer Exchange has opened seven new stores, including one in Spain.

In March, the retailer opened stores in Andover, Redditch, Tooting and Valencia, and earlier this month opened outlets in Bolton, Warrington and Portsmouth. The company’s Leeds shop has also moved to a new location.

We’re chuffed to continue the mission to roll-out CEX to new areas,” said Computer Exchange’s brand and communications manager Jonathan Cronin.

All three stores buy, sell and exchange our full range of products including music CDs. Portsmouth will grow later this month when the basement opens, packed with zillions more DVDs and CDs.”

The new openings follow reports last summer that the retailer was on the verge of financial collapse, which the company refuted. Since then the firm has gone on to open four stores in New York, and shops in Maidstone, Stevenage, Exeter, Uxbridge, Coleraine, St. Albans and Cheltenham – many of which are franchise stores.
