Clothing brand Charles Tyrwhitt is poised to open its first location in Bristol at Cribbs Mall. The 1,600 sq ft unit, which will be located on the upper floor near the John Lewis, is set to open in late March and will stock the brand’s full range of quality shirts, suits, casualwear, shoes and accessories.
Nick Wheeler OBE, founder of Charles Tyrwhitt, said: “I started Charles Tyrwhitt in the autumn of 1986 from my room in Victoria Square in Clifton. I was studying geography at Bristol University, but found my little shirt venture rather more exciting than oxbow lakes and capital cities around the world. When I left Bristol the following year, I had no idea that it would take me 37 years to ‘come home’.
“So, I’m now super-excited to be opening our 46th store in Cribbs Mall. ‘Better late than never’, you might say. It also gives me the perfect excuse to come back and visit my favourite city.”
Scott Linard, portfolio director at M&G Real Estate, added: “Large regional retail centres in strategic, accessible locations such as Cribbs Mall continue to attract leading retail brands thanks to consistently strong footfall. Cribbs Mall is well known for its extensive fashion and clothing offer, and we are delighted to welcome such a recognisable brand in Charles Tyrwhitt.
“We are particularly excited for Cribbs Mall customers to see Charles Tyrwhitt’s innovative and sustainable new in-store features, as it comes at a time when retailers look to create fresh and immersive spaces which appeal to today’s consumers, who enjoy the hybrid approach of online and experiential in-store retail. Over the course of the year, we hope to announce further new lettings as we grow our diverse mix of tenants to ensure Cribbs Mall remains the South West’s premier shopping destination.”
