Clintons opens first UK outlet store since new ownership
Clintons has opened an outlet store at The Boulevard, Northern Ireland’s only premier designer outlet.
The 1,054 square foot space, which was previously home to Card Centre, has rebranded to Clintons and has become the first UK outlet store for the brand since it was acquired by Cardzone earlier this year.
The shop will offer a selection of Clintons cards and gifting products, as well as a range of Kenji soft toys.
James Taylor, trading director at Clintons said: “Since Cardzone’s acquisition of Clintons in March 2024, we have been on the lookout for expansion and growth opportunities for the Clintons brand and we are thrilled to open our first outlet store.
“The Boulevard, with its extremely high-quality stores, strong shopper demographics and excellent trading figures, was the perfect location for our new store, especially with its close proximity to both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland shoppers.”
The Lotus Property owned scheme in Banbridge is also home to retailers such as M&S, Dune London, Guess, Molton Brown, Nike and Levis. Other brands include the likes of Kate Spade, Under Armour and Crew Clothing.
Chris Nelmes, retail director at The Boulevard said: “To open a UK first store once again at The Boulevard is a huge achievement for us. We are delighted retailers see the benefit of our premier designer outlet and how it is consistently outperforming the industry’s sales and footfall average statistics.
“Clintons will extend our seasonal and gifting range at The Boulevard which will be well received by our customers given the spike we often see at seasonal peak times of the year.”
