The Range questions shoppers over its name as some spot 'hidden message' in logo

The Range is one of the most recognisable stores to shoppers in Nottinghamshire and beyond - with a number of shops located across the UK.

It's extremely popular with a wide range of different items available for customers, offering anything from household items, to garden tools and food and drink.

It operates over 160 stores in this country, including two in Nottingham at Castle and Lady Bay retail parks.

It's name and logo will therefore be pretty well known.

But, did you know that some shoppers are convinced that the store now isn't called the Range - but something else?

The business has this week been forced to adress what its actual name is this week on its Instagram page, Wales Online reports.

It comes after a shopper pointed out that the blue logo also features an "R" in an orange circle, questioning whether The Range is actually called... 'The Orange'.

The Facebook post was first published in 2020 and read: "So I blew my own mind today. I realised that the range has an R in an orange circle as their logo, but I can't unsee it as saying anything other than orange now?

"Someone please explain this to me and restore my faith in humanity."

"Someone please explain this to me and restore my faith in humanity."

The Range clarified what it was actually called at the time, telling shoppers at the time: "We've received so many messages about this viral post...its taken you all a while to notice.

"We do love the colour O-Range but all jokes aside we are officially called 'The Range'."

But after the name was thrown into question again this week, The Range has addressed the confusion once again.

Sharing a picture of their store front on social media, the retailer wrote: "The Range or The Orange, what do you see?

"Our name seems to be the top-pip of conversation again. And the fruit of the matter is we now have a range of names and a range of products."

"Well now I see orange and will never be able to unsee it," one person responded.

While another simply put: "The Orange it is now... It can't be unseen!"

However a third disagreed, pointing out: "I still see The Range, because there are 2 R's so to me it's just a circle with an R for the logo at the beginning."
