Frasers Group plc today announced plans for three more FLANNELS flagship stores. The plans will see FLANNELS flagships open in Leeds, Cardiff, and Gateshead, all upwards of 80,000 sq. ft in size, and bringing with them the best in luxury fashion, beauty, and experience to each location.
The stores are described as modern, agile retail experiences, that will become leading destinations for new luxury, through a world-class offering and innovative designs.
Michael Murray, FLANNELS’ Chief Executive comments: “Our plans to expand with a series of new experience-orientated flagships, demonstrates how we’re doubling down on our commitment to ‘new luxury’ and bringing world-class experiences to untapped markets. Our expansion plans not only demonstrate the confidence we have in our strategy, but they also show our continued belief in the future of the UK’s high streets, which through our stores, we aim to re-ignite.”
The announcement closely follows the opening of FLANNELS’ Liverpool flagship, which is the largest store opening to date and, largest investment into a store opening for the Group. The 120,000 sq. ft store opened in June 2022 and boasts the very best in fashion and beauty alongside ground-breaking experiences, such as a world-first Barry’s Bootcamp, and a selection of world-class food and beverage destinations.
The expansion plans will see significant investment from Frasers Group plc, with Leeds, Cardiff and Metrocentre flagships anticipated to open late 2023.
