Italian beauty brand KIKO Milano has signed for a 1,624 sq ft unit at the Metrocentre in Gateshead.
The store, which is located on the centre’s Lower Red Mall, is due to open this autumn and will feature an extensive range of makeup, skincare, suncare and haircare products, along with personalised beauty consultation services.
Ben Cox, director at Sovereign Centros from CBRE, said: “This latest signing reaffirms Metrocentre’s status as the premier shopping destination in the North East. KIKO Milano’s arrival on Red Mall is another great addition to the varied beauty offer at Metrocentre. With Sephora also less than a month away from opening, it is an exciting time for the beauty conscious shopper, due to our real breadth of choice. This letting underscores Metrocentre’s commitment to expanding and diversifying the category, and enhancing the overall experience.”
Paul Devin, country director of the UK and Ireland at KIKO Milano, added: “As we continue our ambitious growth plans, bringing our brand to Metrocentre is one of the most exciting pillars of our strategy. With such an iconic shopping destination that has a great beauty offering, we cannot wait to bring our high quality Italian designed and made products to the consumers of the North East.”
