Focus on online ordering as home and leisure retailer The Range goes live with new iOS and Android mobile app

The Range reports that its new mobile app is live.

In a LinkedIn post, the retailer said: “Our customers can now shop for their homes, hobbies, pets or projects in one place. And with over 100,000 products at their fingertips, we’ve made online ordering even easier than before.”

“Customers can filter by department, find their local store, view the latest offers, check the status of their orders and much more.”

The app is available on iOS and Android.

A year in the making

The Range recently opened a new warehouse that spans 1.17 million square ft.

This is located in Stowmarket and will provide 1,600 jobs to the local community.

A year in the making, it will serve both The Range and wilko.com customers across the South, South East, East of England and the East Midlands.

The Range said: “The warehouse is complete with an on-site gym and canteen. Plus, to help ease our employee's commute there’s a bus, bike racks and electric vehicle charging stations available.”

“Recruitment is currently underway for a variety of jobs, including forklift truck drivers, order picking, loading and dispatching, HR, health and safety, catering staff and drivers.”
