COS to launch regional flagship at Liverpool One

Grosvenor Europe has announced that leading fashion brand, COS, is to open a North West regional flagship store in Liverpool One.

COS will launch a 5,700 sq ft store at the entrance to Peter’s Lane next month, adjacent to Flannels and Beauty Bazaar Harvey Nichols.

Situated in a former warehouse with links back to the city’s maritime history, the store will showcase COS’s fashion ranges for women and men, bringing the brand’s modern, functional and considered design to the North West for the first time in a stand alone store.

Commenting on the news, Alison Clegg, director, asset management at Grosvenor Europe, the property company behind Liverpool One, said: “We are very pleased to secure a first store in the North West for COS, which is another great directional fashion brand for Liverpool One.

“COS joins a cache of exceptional premium brands located on Peter’s Lane that together provide the best in designer clothing, footwear, jewellery and beauty products.”

Sam Miller, head of expansion at H&M Group, added: “Liverpool is known for its focus on fashion, and nowhere more so than Liverpool One.

“The high footfall and line-up of complementary brands on Peter’s Lane will be great assets as we introduce our first COS standalone store in the North West.”

Liverpool One continues to grow and outperform, this year marking its 10th anniversary since opening in 2008.

The signing of COS follows a record year for Liverpool One, with sales up 3% in 2017 compared with 2016 and an annual footfall of 29 million.

In addition, a further new entrant to Liverpool One’s Peter’s Lane will be announced in the coming weeks.
