ZARA has taken a 32,000 sq ft store at British Land and Aviva Investor’s SouthGate open-air shopping scheme in Bath.
The fashion brand joins watch and jewellery market Goldsmiths, which has taken a 5,000 sq ft unit at the scheme. Both stores are due to open by autumn this year.
Kate Lea, head of shopping centre leasing at British Land, said: “ZARA and Goldsmiths are brilliant additions to Bath’s thriving retail offering. ZARA’s decision to choose SouthGate for its first store in the city is a testament to the popularity of the destination, and the work we’ve done to make the centre as attractive and engaging for customers as possible.”
Craig Bolton, president of the Watches of Switzerland Group, UK & Europe, said: “We consider a prominent presence in Bath as key to our expansion plans for Goldsmiths, and SouthGate stood out as the ideal destination from which to showcase our luxury brands to the city’s shoppers.”
British Land and Aviva Investors were advised by Cushman & Wakefield.
