Shoeaholics was established in 2014 by Kurt Geiger as an online-only shop, but has now opened seven stores, which have helped it grow to £25m sales last year. 

Boss Mark Hoyal-Mitchell said customer spend jumped by up to three times pre-pandemic levels, adding that the new concept will fill the gap left by shuttered department stores.
