Global fashion chain set to open in Liverpool One

International fashion brand, Stradivarius, is to launch a store in retail centre Liverpool One this October.

Grosvenor, the owner of the retail site, revealed an 8,000 sq ft flagship store will be the fourth Inditex-owned brand based there, which it said shows a vote of confidence in the retail and leisure destination.

The Stradivarius store will be located on South John Street, next to Zara, Pull & Bear and the new flagship Bershka, which is set to open in April.

They will total more than a combined 53,000 sq ft of space, making the site an Inditex stronghold in the north of England.

Stradiviarius will champion its unique womenswear collections. It will join the brand’s seven other UK city locations, including London, Edinburgh and Cardiff.

Since the Spanish fashion retailer was set up in 1994, it now has more than 925 global stores as well as an online platform stocking extensive collections.

Alison Clegg, managing director, asset management, Grosvenor, said: “The signing of Stradivarius at Liverpool One is particularly exciting given that it is the fourth brand from Inditex to join the destination.

“It also demonstrates Grosvenor’s commitment to providing a varied mix of independent and international brands in the heart of Liverpool, emphasising both the appeal of Liverpool One as a high performing, all encompassing destination, as well as its importance in the national retail landscape.”

The announcement follows a busy start to 2022 for Liverpool One, with four openings in the first two months of the year: Bean’s permanent relocation to Manesty’s Lane; Gordon Ramsey’s Bread Street Kitchen on Paradise Street; premium golf simulation concept On the Green at The Terrace; and Rituals at South John Street.

Two further signings have also been announced, with Timothy Oulton and Russell & Bromley set to open in the coming months.
