Gloucester Quays welcomes new brands as trading figures rise
Peel Outlets, the owner and operator of Gloucester Quays, has reported an 18% rise in footfall and 13% increase in sales in its financial year to date.
New openings at the outlet centre include fashion retailers Fat Face and Bench as well as restaurant brand Carluccio’s. It has also become the first outlet to sign Tricker’s, the luxury heritage shoe brand founded in 1829 and bestowed with a Royal Warrant from HRH The Prince of Wales.
Martin Mason, Tricker’s managing director, said: “We are very excited to have opened a store at Gloucester Quays. This is our first standalone outlet and is part of our on-going strategy to develop and grow the Tricker’s brand. There is a strong selection of brands at Gloucester Quays which I feel will complement Tricker’s and we hope the customers will be as excited about the new store as we are.”
Since January Gloucester Quays has seen the opening of 14 new stores comprising 40,000 square feet of retail space. These have included retailers such as Clarks and Jaeger and restaurants Brewhouse & Kitchen and Bill’s.
Richard Rawlings, centre manager at Gloucester Quays, added: “The outlet continues to grow at a tremendous rate and has developed a significant momentum which we expect to continue into the Christmas period, 2016 and beyond.”
