Peel Retail & Leisure has confirmed 8,000 sq ft of new menswear and gifting brands at Gloucester Quays, including the signings of a new Ben Sherman store, Label Yard and Menkind and the relocation and upsize of Crew Clothing.

The completion of these lettings means Gloucester Quays is now 95% let or under offer.

Ben Sherman will be opening its 1,381 sq ft store at the outlet towards the end of October, showcasing its signature collections of shirts, polos, Harringtons and other British subculture inspired menswear styles. The signing will build on Ben Sherman's existing network of 15 UK stores and strengthen the menswear line-up at Gloucester Quays

Crew Clothing, a long-standing tenant at the centre, has upsized with a new 2,107 sq ft store. The 53% larger space offers an extended range, including coats, rugby and polo shirts, sweaters, loungewear and blazers, alongside clothing for men, women and children. Crew already has stores in Cheltenham, Cirencester and the new Cotswolds Designer Outlet.

Also joining the line-up, Menkind has signed for a 2,110 sq ft unit, set to open this October. The store will feature its popular mix of gifts, gadgets, and novelty products for all ages. Label Yard has also opened a new 2,411 sq ft store at the outlet. Specialising in premium streetwear and contemporary fashion, this will be Label Yard's second outlet location in the South West.

Paul Carter, asset director at Peel Retail & Leisure, said: "Providing breadth of choice for our customers is central to Gloucester Quays' success as both a crossover destination and a top 10 UK outlet. 

"The additions of Ben Sherman, Menkind and Label Yard, with Crew Clothing's upsize, strengthen our retail mix, reinforcing Gloucester Quays as a destination where brands succeed and setting us up perfectly with a nearly fully let destination for peak trading in the months ahead."

Steven Porter at Ben Sherman and Crew Clothing said: "We're thrilled to be opening at Gloucester Quays and introducing our iconic British brands to this fantastic location. 

"As one of the UK's leading outlets, Gloucester Quays attracts a diverse mix of visitors, making it the perfect setting for our newest store. Shoppers can look forward to exploring our latest collections, and we're excited to welcome them through our doors."

The announcement follows the news that Søstrene Grene has signed at Gloucester Quays. The Danish homewares and lifestyle brand already has a store in Cheltenham but this marks its debut location in Gloucester.
