Legwear retailer Sock Shop has announced plans to open its first bricks and mortar high street store since the closure of its final store in 2006. The concept store will open in early September at shopping destination, Manchester Arndale. This is the latest expansion plan for the Ruia Group; Europe’s leading sock distributors, owned by five Ruia brothers who acquired Sock Shop in 2006. Sock Shop was originally founded in 1983 and quickly became the most popular sock retailer with 52 stores across the UK. Since its acquisition in 2006 the brand has been solely retailing through its successful international e-­commerce platform. The new 400 sq ft concept store will host a floor to ceiling feature wall displaying a plethora of legwear including a rainbow of colours and styles.
