Timberland joins line-up at Gloucester Quays
Peel L&P has announced that Timberland has joined the line-up at the Gloucester Quays premier outlet destination.
The 2,110 square foot store, which is situated opposite The North Face, stocks a complete outlet collection spanning boots, shoes and trainers. It is also offers menswear and womenswear, as well as a range of bags, sunglasses and socks.
Ignacio Abadias, real estate manager EMEA at Timberland, said: “Gloucester Quays is a great outlet in such a beautiful location, from the waterside setting to the heritage of some of its buildings. It’s amazing to now be open and trading, as we bring our world-famous footwear and clothing collections to the Gloucester Quays customer.”
Coinciding with the 50th anniversary year of the Original Timberland Boot, the signing was the result of strong demand from Gloucester Quays customers for the brand. Other footwear and sportswear brands at the centre include the likes of Adidas, Clarks and Skechers.
Paul Carter, asset director at Peel L&P, said: “Adding Timberland to our retail mix showcases two things: performance at Gloucester Quays creates a compelling reason for leading brands to join us; and we genuinely listen to our customers when it comes to shaping the destination. This is an iconic brand and one that understands the outlet experience, so naturally we are delighted to have worked with them to bring this new store to life.”
The signing of Timberland follows a successful 2022 for Gloucester Quays when retail sales rose by 8% compared with pre-pandemic levels in 2019. It also saw its December sales outperform the same month in 2021 by 18%.
