Southampton: Hammerson attracts Australian retailer to Westquay
Iain Mitchell, UK commercial director at Hammerson, said: “We are delighted to be introducing Smiggle to Southampton with its city debut and welcoming Yankee Candle back to Westquay.
“Hammerson’s dynamic asset management strategy continues to bring a strong retail tenant mix to Westquay, following the opening of its dedicated leisure and dining development, Westquay South. Earlier this year, Westquay also welcomed global cosmetics brand Lush and aspirational footwear retailer Russell & Bromley to the city.
“By continuing to attract leading global retailers to the centre, Westquay is maintaining its position as the South Coast’s leading retail and leisure destination.”
John Cheston, managing director of Smiggle, said: “We’ve done our homework here at Smiggle and spent many hours scouting out the best locations so we knew that Southampton was the place to be.
“I’m thrilled that we’re opening our doors on August 31, just in time for fans to get kitted out as they head back to school.”
MMX advised Smiggle.
