The Warehouse buys school uniform brand

10:57 am on 16 January 2014

The Warehouse is buying the Schooltex school uniforms brand from Postie Plus for $9 million.

Schooltex supplies more than 1100 of New Zealand's nearly 3000 schools with uniforms and sports gear.

The Warehouse chief executive Mark Powell said it is possible uniforms may become cheaper because The Warehouse will be using its scale and buying power to deliver best value.
