LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) – British sportswear retailer JD Sports Fashion (JD.L) stated it was on monitor to submit greater annual revenue as demand for Nike, Adidas and different branded footwear and attire pushed underlying gross sales up 12% regardless of the stress on shoppers from rising payments.

JD’s sometimes youthful clients have stored spending during the last two years, shrugging off the impression of rising inflation, keen to purchase JD’s typically unique sportswear fashions.

The group, already the UK’s largest sportswear retailer, is increasing quickly throughout Europe and the United States, aiming to spend as much as 3 billion kilos to open 1,750 shops over 5 years and change into a world athletic leisurewear “powerhouse”.

For the 12 months to the tip of January, JD stated it was on monitor to submit annual pretax revenue of 1.04 billion kilos, up 5% on final 12 months.
