Thomas Sabo to debut at Intu Watford
Premium jewellery brand Thomas Sabo is to open a new store at the Intu Watford shopping centre.
The company has signed up for a 1,000 square foot unit which will be situated on the lower mall, close to John Lewis, Office, Phase Eight and Karen Millen.
Jon Crossick, UK & Ireland managing director of Thomas Sabo, said: “We are pleased to have the opportunity to open a standalone store in Intu Watford and have worked closely with Intu who have helped us to realise the right unit for our creative display requirements. We aim to open this summer and have every confidence in the future success of our brand within Intu Watford.”
The shopping centre is set to undergo a major transformation. A £100 million investment will integrate Intu Watford and Charter Place, which was acquired by Intu in 2013, to create a single 1.4 million square foot retail, dining and leisure destination.
In addition, the development will provide new retail space, a new Cineworld imax cinema and leisure complex, along with a new restaurant hub. A new public square will also be created to host events such as street theatre and music shows.
The overall proposal also includes the refurbishment of the existing Intu Watford centre, which currently has an annual footfall of 17 million.
