New fashion arrivals include Ben Sherman, Label Yard and Menkind supported by the relocation/upsize of Crew Clothing.
Ben Sherman will be opening its 1,381 sq ft store at the outlet towards the end of October, showcasing its signature collections of shirts, polos, Harringtons and other British subculture-inspired menswear styles.
The signing will build on Ben Sherman’s existing network of 15 UK stores and “strengthen the menswear line-up at Gloucester Quays”.
Crew Clothing, a long-standing tenant at the centre, has upsized with a new 2,107 sq ft store. The 53% larger space offers an extended range, including coats, rugby and polo shirts, sweaters, loungewear and blazers, alongside clothing for men, women and children.
Label Yard has also confirmed a new 2,411 sq ft store opening this month. Specialising in premium streetwear and contemporary fashion, this will be Label Yard’s second store location in the Southwest.
Also joining the line-up, male-centric brand Menkind has signed for a 2,110 sq ft unit, also set to open this month, featuring its mix of gifts, gadgets, and novelty products for all ages.
Also new to the portfolio is the expanding Søstrene Green, marking the debut location for the Danish homewares and lifestyle brand in the city.
Paul Carter, asset director at Peel Retail & Leisure, said: “Providing breadth of choice for our customers is central to Gloucester Quays’ success as both a crossover destination and a top-10 UK outlet.
“[These additions and upsizes] strengthen our retail mix, reinforcing Gloucester Quays as a destination where brands succeed, and setting us up perfectly with a nearly fully let destination for peak trading in the months ahead.”
