Women’s fashion brand Hobbs has agreed a significant store upsizing deal at Redical’s Victoria Leeds shopping scheme.
Hobbs is relocating from its current home in the Victoria Quarter to a 30% larger unit at Victoria Gate, consolidating all of its brands under one roof.
The new 4,200 sq ft flagship store will open in November and allow Hobbs to showcase a wider selection of its signature women’s clothing, shoes, accessories and occasion-wear.
Rachel Bradburn, leasing director at Victoria Leeds, said: “This latest announcement further cements Victoria Leeds’ position as one of the UK’s most trusted premium and luxury retail destination. We are welcoming more visitors than ever before to Victoria Gate, which is a testament to high calibre brands reinvesting and recommitting with us, like those in the TFG London portfolio, but also to Redical’s ongoing commitment to provide an exceptional curated retail mix and customer experience.”
Caroline Money, global group director at TFG Brands, added: “The decision to relocate to a larger unit at Victoria Leeds is a clear reflection of the increased demand in a key catchment area for us, and brings three of our brands – Hobbs, Phase Eight and Whistles – together under the one roof of Victoria Gate. We are excited for our loyal customers to now enjoy an elevated experience, with a wider selection of Hobbs’ timeless pieces.”
Lunson Mitchenall and Central Retail acted for Victoria Leeds and Braiser Freeth represented Hobbs.
