International athletic apparel brand, PUMA, has recently signed a deal with premier South West outlet and dining destination, Gloucester Quays, according to Peel L&P, the development company behind the project.
The forthcoming PUMA outlet store at Gloucester Quays will occupy a 2,184 sq ft space opposite Le Creuset and is expected to open its doors in the coming weeks. Shoppers can look forward to browsing PUMA’s extensive range of high-quality sports apparel, including classic clothing lines for women, men, and children. The store will also offer dedicated sportswear collections for activities like running, football, and motorsport, in addition to its trademark footwear selection.
With this latest addition, PUMA joins a comprehensive lineup of premium sportswear and lifestyle brands already present at Gloucester Quays, including Adidas, Timberland, and Levi’s.
Peel L&P’s Asset Director, Paul Carter, expressed his satisfaction with the growing retail portfolio at Gloucester Quays, saying, “Gloucester Quays is consistently demonstrating the quality of its retail lineup, evidenced by the signing of global sports and apparel brands like PUMA. We are committed to providing visitors with an extensive range of vibrant new retail options and high-quality specialist brands that diversify the outlet’s offerings. Having already introduced Timberland and NEXT this year, the signing of PUMA is a continuation of our efforts to keep Gloucester Quays fresh and exciting.”
Colette Hilton, Head of Retail and E-Com UKI at PUMA, also shared her excitement about the brand’s new location at Gloucester Quays. Hilton stated, “We are so excited to open the doors to our new location this June and showcase our trademark, high-quality range of athletic and casual footwear, apparel, and accessories.”
The addition of PUMA to the Gloucester Quays lineup follows several significant retail announcements this year, including the signing of British retail giant NEXT and the opening of Timberland, the international footwear and lifestyle retailer. The destination has reported strong performance across all sectors in 2022, particularly for its footwear and sportswear retailers, with retail sales up 8% compared to 2019.
