BHS chief executive hopes to open new stores next year

The boss of BHS has told the BBC that he hopes to open new stores next year.

Chief executive Darren Topp told the BBC's Emma Simpson that the company had "identified" 20 locations where it would like to have a store.

Earlier this year, the department store chain was sold for £1 by Sir Philip Green, the chairman of Arcadia Group. The buyers were a low-profile consortium of private investors.
