David M Robinson signs lease renewal for Liverpool ONE
Liverpool ONE has announced that luxury jewellery retailer David M Robinson has committed to a five-year lease renewal for its shop on the centre’s South John Street.
DMR has operated a store at the centre since Liverpool ONE launched in 2008.
Founded in Liverpool in the 1960s as a small jewellery workshop, the retailer is now also an authorised dealer for Rolex in each of its four showrooms and for Patek Philippe in London and Cheshire.
John Robinson, managing director of DMR, said: “Following our milestone 50th anniversary last year, we are delighted to confirm this lease renewal at Liverpool ONE which marks an exciting new chapter for DMR. With our heritage link to the city, and history at the destination, maintaining our bricks and mortar presence at Liverpool ONE is crucial to our business.”
The signing follows news that beauty brand M·A·C Cosmetics has officially launched a 2,654 square flagship store at Liverpool ONE while sportswear brand Castore has opened its first store outside of London on the centre’s Manesty’s Lane.
Alison Clegg, director of asset management at Grosvenor Europe, said: “It’s a pleasure for Liverpool ONE to play a part in the local success story that is David M Robinson, and we’re pleased to have had the opportunity to build a relationship with the family business since the launch of Liverpool ONE. As part of its luxury DNA, David M Robinson has always placed great emphasis on providing the highest level of customer service, and in doing so, shown the importance of a physical retail presence for brands.”
