Hobbs opens new store at Centre:mk

Hobbs, the contemporary womenswear brand, has opened a new store at Centre:mk in Milton Keynes.

Situated on Sunset Walk in Centre:mk’s premium quarter, the 3,387 square foot store was designed by an in-house team and trades from one level.

Jointly owned by Hermes Investment Management and AustralianSuper, Centre:mk has welcomed a number of premium fashion brands recently including Joules, Jigsaw, The White Company and Cath Kidston. The addition of Hobbs brings the total number of signings to 10 in the past 12 months.

Ed Sellick, asset manager at Hermes Investment Management, said: “This latest addition to our retail offer demonstrates our ability to attract some of the most sought after fashion brands. The opening of Hobbs follows recent additions to the retail line-up, including Joules and the JD Sports upsize, both highlighting our strategy to grow Centre:mk as a destination that appeals to the whole family.”
