Just seen this on Property Week website, apart from the marketing waffle it still states Byron opening 'Early 2018' - that's a serious interior fit out!
Oliver Bonas makes Welsh debut
30 August 2017 | By Helen Crane
British lifestyle retailer Oliver Bonas has announced plans to open its first store in Wales at St David’s shopping centre in Cardiff.
It will take a 2,290 sq ft store at the centre, which is owned by the St David’s Partnership – a joint venture between Intu and LandSec.
The site, located adjacent to Reiss, will stock fashion, jewellery, homeware and gifts from Oliver Bonas’s in-house range and selected other brands. Oliver Bonas launched in 1993 and now has more than 60 stores in the UK.
Colin Flinn, regional managing director at Intu, said: “Oliver Bonas’ choice to launch their unique and trend led pieces to the Welsh market at St David’s, will enhance choice and variety for shoppers. In addition, this will further cement the status of St David’s as a fully comprehensive retail and leisure destination highly sought after by aspirational brands seeking to grow their market in an affluent catchment.”
This follows the recent news that lingerie retailer, Bravissimo, opened a flagship store at St David’s in June. In addition, burger brand Byron will also be making its Welsh debut at the centre with a 5,150 sq ft restaurant set to open in early 2018. St David’s is anchored by Debenhams, Marks & Spencer, and the largest John Lewis outside of London. It also has 200 other shops and restaurants.
JLL and Cushman & Wakefield advise the St David’s Partnership. Colliers acted on behalf of Oliver Bonas.
