The retail giant controlled by billionaire Mike Ashley has taken over three North West companies so far this year in a series of high-profile deals.
Frasers Group, which includes Sports Direct, House of Fraser and Jack Wills, snapped up Accrington-based Studio Retail Group and Missguided and I Saw It First, which are both headquartered in Manchester.
Both Studio Retail Group and Missguided owed more than £80m to creditors before being acquired while I Saw It First was bought towards the end of last month.
