OFFICE, the international fashion footwear specialist, has chosen centre:mk for its latest store.
After closing its previous store in Midsummer Place, OFFICE has decided to return to Milton Keynes, selecting the popular Silbury Arcade. The new 5,400 sq ft store will offer an extensive range of women’s, men’s, and children’s footwear collections, featuring OFFICE’s own-brand styles designed in-house and a wide array of popular brands through global partnerships such as adidas, Nike, Birkenstock, UGG, On Running, and New Balance.
OFFICE will join an array of international fashion brands, including Mango, Reiss, and Mint Velvet, alongside other footwear retailers like Clarks, Skechers, and Kurt Geiger.
In alignment with waste reduction initiatives at the retail destination, which have achieved 100% diversion from landfill, OFFICE will ensure any damaged products in-store are re-used, re-purposed, or recycled. This initiative is part of the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
Kevin Duffy, Centre Director at centre:mk, commented: “OFFICE’s selection of centre:mk is testament to the destination’s reputation as a leading regional centre, and the brand will further strengthen our line-up of top-performing names in fashion and footwear. Partnering with brands that align with our commitment to ESG practices is a significant part of our leasing and centre management process, and OFFICE’s approach to waste reduction initiatives is on par with our own.”
OFFICE’s decision to open follows the recent announcement that British womenswear brand, Mint Velvet, is set to open a key regional store within the centre. Additionally, premium performance sportswear brand, Castore, has recently launched its regional debut here.
FMX and Time Retail Partners acted for centre, while CBRE represented OFFICE.
