Any news on the horizon about these?
No news on any of these fronts! Not even rumours... Nevertheless, I've given some thought into potential retailers for some of our larger vacant units:
Mothercare >
Uniqlo (12,228 Sq Ft)
Clas Ohlson >
Missguided (17,700 Sq Ft)
Guess >
COS (6,820 Sq Ft)
USC >
Zara Home (9,621 Sq Ft)
DV8 >
Pull & Bear | Stradivarius (12,253 Sq Ft)
Gilly Hicks >
Urban Revivo (? Sq Ft)
[Urban Revivo is China's leading fast fashion brand, which is branching into the UK as of 2018. Their first planned opening is Westfield White City. With the considerable Chinese student population in Cardiff, I could certainly envisage this chain opening within the city providing a successful launch in London]
Back to real life... Footasylum Women's are opening a pop up shop in the unit which was previously occupied by SoHo Coffee!
