Many Everton fans have been left buzzing over some news involving their retail partner Fanatics.

As per the official website of the Goodison Park faithful, they have now opened the Merseyside club's first official store in Northern Ireland, which will feature an extensive range of official Toffees apparel, replica kit, headwear, fashion accessories, sporting goods, toys and souvenirs.

The store will also feature a personalisation service from November onwards, allowing Blues supporters to have their replica kits customised.

It is great news that the club are now expanding their stores into other countries, as they will be able to generate more revenue from selling off their merchandise and may also gain a few more followers in Northern Ireland.

These are all steps required to grow a club into a global brand, something which is necessary to thrive in modern football.
