Value\u00a0fashion\u00a0retailer, Mr Price has\u00a0taken its homeware division,\u00a0Mr Price\u00a0Home<\/a>\u00a0online.<\/p>\n

Mr\u00a0Price Apparel launched its online sales platform in South Africa in July 2012 and internationally in July 2013.<\/p>\n

The group noted in its recent results presentation that it hoped to\u00a0launch\u00a0online businesses for Mr Price\u00a0Home, Sheet Street and Mr Price Sport,\u00a0within the next six months.<\/p>\n

While apparel accounts for 55% of total group turnover, homeware accounts for 20% of turnover.<\/p>\n

Delivery starts at R15, going up to\u00a0R500 for furniture items above R10,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe online sales platform will represent a strong growth opportunity globally and will allow a cost effective test of foreign markets,\u201d\u00a0said CEO Stuart Bird in announcing the group’s results last week.<\/p>\n
