Founded in 1979, Nottinghamshire-based JTF Mega Discount Warehouse had been a mainstay across the North East selling thousands of lines in Home & Garden, DIY, Electrical, Furniture, Toys, Pet, Toiletries, Cleaning, Sports & Leisure.
In 2020, it revealed plans to open 40 new stores and create more than 1,400 new jobs – and float on the stock market in 2023.
It launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund its ambitions, and give investors a chance to own a stake in the company prior to it going public.
