Retail park reveals latest additions to line-up
Castlepoint in Bournemouth is set to welcome two new brands to its expanding line-up with luxury personal care and wellness brand Rituals, signing a ten-year lease for a newly created 2,615 sq ft unit.
Specialist kitchenware brand ProCook will also be joining the scheme, signing a ten-year lease for the adjacent 2,863 sq ft unit which was created from dividing an existing store to meet growing demand for 2,500-3,000 sq ft unit formats.
Since launching in 2000, Rituals has grown from a single store on the Kalverstraat, Amsterdam, to over 1,100 stores across 33 countries.
With products ranging from body care to home fragrances and skin care, Rituals further expands Castlepoint’s beauty offering which currently includes big name brands such as Boots, Holland & Barrett and Superdrug.
ProCook, founded 28 years ago in Gloucester as a family business, has grown into the UK’s leading direct-to-consumer specialist kitchenware brand.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments and Delancey are the joint venture owners of the scheme.
A spokesperson on behalf of the joint venture owners of Castlepoint said: “It is great that Rituals has selected Castlepoint for its first store in Dorset. This continues a pattern seen with other new and impending arrivals, like Mango and Nike, who choose Castlepoint as a beacon location for their brand presence. We also look forward to welcoming ProCook to the centre as part of the brand’s plan to grow its UK retail footprint to 100 stores over the medium term. Occupier interest in the scheme remains high and we are making real strides in curating our tenant mix to meet consumer demand for big name brands.”
The retained leasing agents are Curson Sowerby Partners and Morgan Williams.
Rituals was represented by Curson Sowerby Partners and ProCook was advised by Newmark.
