Luxury retailer opens 70,000 sq ft flagship store in Leeds

Flannels, a luxury retailer which is part of Frasers Group, has added Leeds to its line-up of major city bases.

The opening of the Leeds city centre store on Briggate means it has become Flannels’ sixth flagship location, joining London, Leicester, Liverpool,  Sheffield and Newcastle.

The Leeds store is spread over six floors and 70,000 sq ft. It is home to contemporary designer clothing and accessory fashion brands, beauty retail concepts, a luxury resale space, homeware and a gym and café partner.

Building on the community established by the existing Flannels Leeds location, a total of 35 staff will be relocated, and another 150 jobs will be created in the new store.  

David Epstein, managing director of Premium and Luxury at Frasers Group, said: “We’re proud of this one. FLANNELS Leeds represents one of our boldest and most disruptive  flagships to date, redefining the experience for the savvy luxury consumer in this region.

“With six floors of exceptional experiences and innovations, created with our best-in-class brand partners, this investment is a testament to the group’s steadfast commitment to luxury.

“Consumers will find everything from Luxury Womenswear and Menswear to Personal Shopping, Home, Beauty, Active, as well as Gym and Café concepts. What we’ve built here is in a league of its own.”
