Hammerson has let a 15,000 sq ft unit to UNIQLO at Cabot Circus in Bristol.
The store, which is situated in a gateway location at the shopping centre, will offer the brand’s womens, mens and kidswear ranges, in addition to UNIQLO’s LifeWear collections, when it opens next month.
Paul O’Brien, director of leasing and commercialisation at Hammerson, said: “UNIQLO’s significant investment in both Bullring and Cabot Circus highlights the confidence that leading retailers have in Hammerson, and the un-matched quality of our destinations. By providing prime locations in the UK’s biggest cities, our destinations continue to attract the latest and best-in-class global brands seeking regional flagship presences, and UNIQLO is a perfect example of this demand.”
Alessandro Dudech, COO of UNIQLO UK, added: “UNIQLO remains committed to strengthening its presence within the UK retail sector by expanding both our physical store network and ecommerce capabilities nationwide. As part of this strategic initiative, we are pleased to introduce UNIQLO to the communities and visitors in the South West in at Bristol’s Cabot Circus. We look forward to offering our LifeWear collection, apparel crafted to endure, inspired by the Japanese principles of quality, simplicity, and functionality to a broader customer base.”
