Big name brand to open huge new store at Bristol shopping centre

Popular women's activewear brand Sweaty Betty will be opening a huge new at The Mall in Cribbs Causeway.

The 1,714 sq ft store will be the latest of its new concept stores featuring dedicated destinations for leggings and sports bras, complete with elevated, soft and welcoming newly designed fitting rooms.

Sweaty Betty was founded by Tamara and Simon Hill-Norton with the aim to empower women through fitness and beyond.

They opened their first boutique store in Notting Hill in 1998 and has since grown into an international brand with over 150 stores and concessions in the UK, the US, Europe, Canada, and Asia.

There's currently no official date for the opening of the new store at Cribbs Mall.

Andrea Gray, Retail Director at Sweaty Betty, said: “We’re delighted to be opening the doors to our new store in Cribbs Mall, and we can’t wait to welcome our Bristol customers to experience our new concept store.”

Scott Linard, Portfolio Director at M&G Real Estate, said: “We are delighted that Sweaty Betty has selected Cribbs Mall as its latest location in the South West and we expect their arrival to be very popular amongst the centre’s shoppers.

"As the centre approaches full occupancy, it has been great to welcome several big-name brands over the past 12 months as we continue to add to the diverse retail offering to ensure there is something for everyone at Cribbs Mall.

"We are in talks with several brands interested in taking the last couple of available units at Cribbs Mall, so we hope to announce more new arrivals soon.”

Sweaty Betty is the latest big-name brand to join the shopping centre after the arrival of Mango, Victoria’s Secret and Charles Tyrwhitt in 2023.
