The Liverpool One mall goes from strength to strength. The Grosvenor operated shopping centre at the heart of the city has signed The Vintage Store, with the retailer opening its biggest UK store to date.

The vintage clothing retailer will open a 12,000 sq ft store, moving into the former Topshop store at the end of May. It will feature the brand’s signature collection of “affordable" vintage clothing, including labels Adidas, Nike and Champion, alongside “a unique” collection of items from designer brands such as Ralph Lauren and Burberry.
 
With established stores in Newcastle, Sheffield, York and Hull, the Liverpool opening continues to see the brand expand its influence across key Northern locations. Yet more stores are scheduled to open this year in Birmingham, Glasgow, Oxford, Leicester, Manchester and Leeds.

The retailer’s Phil Waltham said: “Liverpool’s fashion, music and indie scene is one that I’ve always admired and it’s this rich tapestry that establishes the city as the perfect cultural setting for The Vintage Store. Liverpool One is a prime destination which offers the opportunity to undertake our biggest expansion yet.”
 
Alison Clegg, MD, Asset Management, for Grosvenor, said: “The Vintage Store is the perfect fit for Liverpool One. Its position as a sustainability-focused operator reiterates [the mall’s] ambition to be a centre for environmentally conscious and responsible brands. We… anticipate the local community being equally excited to have affordable, vintage fashion on its doorstep.”
 
The signing follows the announcements of Russell & Bromley opening on South John Street and the signing of Inditex’s fourth fashion brand Stradivarius, at Liverpool One.
