The high street has had it tough recently with a shop or pub closure seemingly making the news daily. But there is optimism, and new shop openings at Bristol’s Cabot Circus.
The Hammersmith-owned shopping centre which opened in 2008 has not escaped the downturn in the economy with closures including Klosterhaus, Victoria’s Secret and Boux Avenue.
But there are several new shop openings which are continuing to draw shoppers to the centre. Some have already opened this year, some are planned for later in the year.
Lisa Jones, General Manager, Cabot Circus said: “We’re constantly exploring emerging trends and opportunities that really drive customer engagement, so we’re really excited to welcome this line-up of household, local and new-to-Bristol brands.
“A strong retail offering is the foundation of our placemaking ambitions which we are bringing to life in innovative ways. This was demonstrated last year with headline grabbing pop-ups including the Skatepark in partnership with Red Bull and Bristol-based Canvas and Instagramable moments including the Pride steps created by Upfest. Our customers can expect more high-profile activations in 2023 utilising local and international talent.”
Here’s a list of seven openings we know about so far:
