Where homewares retailing is growing in the UK
370 homewares retailing outlets across 4 brands are in the h3hex Data Store in the November 2026 release. In the local-area tables Barnet has the most, with 6, or 0.1 per 10,000 residents; the top 25 local areas together hold 96 (26% of outlets with a mapped local area).
Outlet and brand counts are the Data Store's: every brand on sale, with every outlet in its file. The local-area and growth tables count the trading outlets in h3hex's master dataset that map to a local area, so their totals can be lower.

How these figures are made
Counts are h3hex's own store-by-store record of each brand's published UK locations for the brands listed in the Homewares retailing sector of the h3hex data store, November 2026 release (scrape window 30 Oct - 3 Nov 2026), page built 2026-11-12. Closed, pre-opening and head-office records are left out. 0 outlets with no mappable postcode are counted in the totals but not in the local-area tables. 4 districts created in 2023 are shown by their ONS code because the postcode lookup used here carries no name for them. Net change compares this release with the 29 October 2026 edition of the same dataset and reflects openings and closures as well as improved coverage of each brand's own locator. Resident population is Census 2021 usual-resident population by output area, summed to local authority district through the ONS postcode-to-output-area lookup (May 2024). The population table does not join to the lookup for districts in Northern Ireland and Scotland, so outlets per 10,000 residents is shown as - for them.
