Johnson Fellows flushed with success after Bathstore deal

PROPERTY agency Johnson Fellows has been appointed by the UK’s largest chain of bathroom retailers, Bathstore.com.

The retail specialist is to advise the firm on its High Street, roadside and retail park locations across the UK.

Birmingham-based Johnson Fellows has been charged by the bathroom specialists with providing property advice on its retail portfolio of more than 170 sites.

Bathstore was acquired recently by venture capitalists Endless in a deal with previous owners Wolseley.

Johnson Fellows partner Nick Wint said: “We will be dealing with all of Bathstore’s agency, disposals/re-sites, rent reviews, lease renewals, rating and budget management matters.

“It’s a really varied portfolio including High Street, roadside, quasi-retail, out of town and sites. They have got a great brand, they know what their customers want and they believe providing a high quality bespoke service to their customers is paramount to their success.”

Since opening its first store in Croydon in 1990, Bathstore’s retail presence has continued to grow. The company currently employs more than 500 people.
