Footwear retailer Deichmann has taken a 7,100 sq ft store over two floors in the former Sports Direct unit at the Ashley Centre in Epsom.
The store is due to open in late June and will stock a wide variety of footwear brands, such as Nike, Puma and Skechers.
Simon Wilson, managing director for product, marketing and communications at Deichmann, said: “We’re excited to open a new store in Epsom and deliver our offering to a new customer base. As the Ashley Centre undergoes significant investment, this is a great time to be joining the scheme and be a part of its transformation whilst also delivering affordable and quality options to consumers and elevating the existing footwear offer. We look forward to joining the scheme in June and being a part of Epsom’s community.”
Louisa Butters, head of retail asset management UK at CBRE Investment Management, added: “Following the recent signing of GAIL’s Bakery at the Ashley Centre, the signing of Deichmann is once again reaffirming our long-term strategy for the destination as we continue to welcome leading high street brands to the centre. As Europe’s market leader for footwear, this is a strong addition to our tenant mix, and we’re confident that Deichmann will enhance the destination by providing a compelling and unmatched offer, widening the choice and variety for consumers.”
GCW and Cushman and Wakefield represented the Ashley Centre. BKL acted for Deichmann.
