‘MFI store’ sells discounted goods at rate of £17,000 an hour

10th March | sales | The last store to be used in Chris Dawson’s MFI guerrilla sale reopened at the weekend and took more than £17,000 an hour. Dawson, who owns The Range, a leisure, home and garden retail chain, bought £68m worth of former MFI stock earlier this year after the retailer collapsed.

The stock is being sold at large discounts at former MFI stores, selected The Range stores, and via the Internet. The Plymouth store, which opened at the weekend, was the last of the 26 due to be used during the sale.

Dawson has also been linked with a similar swoop for ex-Woolworths stock. Former MFI products are also being sold through other sources including a new clearance section created by online retail aggregator mydeco.com.
