Japanese retailer Muji has refurbished its 2,624 sq ft store at Angel Central and added a community market to promote local brands. The revamped store, which champions ‘recycle and repurpose’ initiatives, is a first of its kind for the brand in the UK.
David Brice, managing director at Muji UK, said: “Our store at Angel Central is incredibly important to us. We trade so well here, and it’s a destination that supports its local community, so we knew our Angel Central store would be the perfect place to begin rolling out this refurbishment.
“We have a great relationship with the Islington community, and CBRE IM [owner of Angel Central] have worked collaboratively with us to support our re-fit and community market plans. We’re excited to see this store continue to thrive and make sustainable choices more accessible for consumers.”
Ciara Daffy, asset manager at CBRE Investment Management, added: “Muji has been a much-loved offer within Angel Central for years, and it’s testament to their performance here that they decided to invest in a new design concept. Angel Central has a strong approach towards sustainability initiatives, and the team works closely with local charities, so MUJI’s plans align perfectly with our overarching ethos.”
