NewStore Raises $45 Million in Series B-1 Financing Round to Accelerate Company Growth

NewStore, a turnkey omnichannel store solution, announced it has secured $45 million in Series B-1 funding. The strategic investment comes after the company saw significant global growth in the first half of 2021, in which it grew its SaaS revenue over 100% year-over-year. These wins also expanded NewStore’s geographic footprint, which now includes 20 countries across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

The success of NewStore stems from the company’s fast, flexible, and easy-to-use omnichannel store solution. As the retail industry realizes the promise of omnichannel, NewStore is positioned to support brands of all sizes. This is because the platform was built from day one as a native SaaS, cloud-based solution. NewStore’s strategy aligns directly with the needs of modern retailers as they look to offer the new capabilities and experiences that today’s consumers have come to expect.

This is the foundation of our success, and the latest investment will allow NewStore to build on this momentum as omnichannel continues to be a strategic imperative for all retailers.”
