Independent lifestyle and fashion brand Oliver Bonas is to open its
first Liverpool store this autumn at Liverpool One, as new figures
highlight the destination’s strong year-to-date performance.
Designed by an in-house team, the 2,956-square-foot store will offer the
brand’s ethically-conscious range of homeware, fashion collections and
gifts, and will be joining the recently upsized Pull & Bear on upper South
John Street, adjacent to John Lewis.
Oliver Bonas currently has 70 stores across the UK.
Liverpool One has seen a 4.6 percent increase in spend per visitor in
2019, according to Grosvenor Europe, with sales up 3 percent compared to
the overall UK average of 0.7 percent for 2019. Twenty-five brands have
signed, opened or renewed their leases at the shopping destination since
the beginning of the year.
Commenting on the new store in a statement, an Oliver Bonas spokesperson
said: “It has been our long-held goal to expand our retail footprint to
Liverpool, where we believe our curated collections and eclectic designs
will prove a hit. Liverpool One has a great reputation and a unique appeal
with consumers from across the region. We will also be in great company
amongst a host of other leading brands, making Liverpool One the ideal
location to launch in the area.”
