Retailer Next has agreed a deal to upsize its presence at Cribbs Mall in Bristol.
The company is taking a larger 47,000 sq ft space at the mall, which will allow it to showcase more of its fashion items and accessories. Bath and Body Works has also signed for its first space in the region after agreeing to lease a 1,797 sq ft unit at Cribbs.
Katie Searle, director, asset management, at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, said: “Cribbs has become a hub for brands to test new store concepts and product ranges to help them stay ahead of the competition. The Next at Cribbs Mall is among the retailer’s best stores in the country so we are not surprised that they are bringing Bath and Body Works to Cribbs whilst committing to a major upgrade of their space to create new flagship concepts for the South West.
“These premium stores at Cribbs will act as showrooms, with shoppers of all ages from across the West Country, West Midlands, South West and South Wales travelling to explore the latest styles and trends.”
Sovereign Centros from CBRE provides full asset management services across Cribbs on behalf of M&G Real Estate. Time Retail Partners and Cushman & Wakefield are retained letting agents for the centre and Green & Partners is retained in a leasing advisory role.
