Peel Retail & Leisure has announced that Berghaus, the renowned outdoor brand, will open its second standalone UK store at Gloucester Quays, a top 10 UK outlet. Located near the picturesque Cotswolds, Gloucester Quays enhances its selection of outdoor retailers with the addition of Berghaus.
The new 2,117 sq ft store, set to launch this summer opposite Adidas, will cater to a variety of outdoor activities, including walking, mountaineering, and climbing. It will offer a wide selection of clothing, footwear, and equipment for both men and women. Inspired by nature, the store will feature a minimalist design, with life-like foliage on the exterior and wooden furniture and metal finishes with a weather-worn look inside. The changing rooms will boast a 360-degree landscape design inspired by the local countryside. This new premium concept is the first of its kind for Berghaus, with plans for expansion through 2025.
As a B Corp-certified company, Berghaus will showcase its commitment to sustainability by offering a lifetime guarantee on all products and a complimentary repair service for every item of clothing. This dedication to high-quality outdoor gear and sustainability aligns with Gloucester Quays’ mission to foster positive social, economic, and environmental impacts. The outlet has achieved UKGBC’s ‘Net Zero Carbon – Operational Energy’ accreditation and a 3* GRESB award.
Paul Carter, Asset Director at Peel Retail & Leisure, commented: “Gloucester Quays has always performed well in the outdoor clothing and accessories space, and clearly Berghaus agree given this will be just their second standalone store. Adding Berghaus to our impressive line-up of outdoor brands demonstrates our commitment to responding to our customers’ needs and wants, as well as an ability to attract brands that lead in their field. It’s another landmark signing for Gloucester Quays, as we celebrate our 15th anniversary, and continue to deliver a first-class outlet experience for our catchment.”
Adam Gill, Head of Sales UK & Ireland for Pentland Brands, added: “Berghaus is delighted to be signing at Gloucester Quays. It’s a premier UK outlet and the historic architecture makes it a beautiful place. It’s a great location for Berghaus in the South West, alongside other top brands. We’re excited about opening in Gloucester Quays for many reasons. The site is ideal for showcasing our latest range of clothing, footwear, packs, and accessories, all built to help people of all ages and experiences enjoy the outdoors. In addition, opening the store will also mark the start of Berghaus’ new retail strategy, which will develop and roll out over the years ahead.”
The arrival of Berghaus at Gloucester Quays complements the existing diverse outdoor shopping options available, such as Trespass, Mountain Warehouse, and The North Face. This announcement follows Gloucester Quays’ recent news of several brands committing to the outlet, including a new store for leading menswear brand Moss and a Skechers’ expansion and refit.
