Shoe retailers Footasylum, Deichmann and Barratts are all to open shops at St David’s shopping centre in Cardiff.
Footasylum will open a 6,700 sq ft store in the centre’s Town Wall south area, the Barratt’s store will be 3,000 sq ft and Deichmann, the family-owned German shoe retailer, will open its first Cardiff store of 8,100 sq ft.
The retailers will join other footwear brands at St David’s including LK Bennett, Sole Trader and Kurt Geiger.
Joanne Skilton, of Capital Shopping Centres, on behalf of St David’s Partnership, the joint venture between CSC and Land Securities, said: “We are delighted with the interest shown by these footwear retailers, especially in the Town Wall south area where we are expanding our fashion mix.”
Clare Makin, estates manager for Footasylum, said: “Taking a store at St David’s was an obvious step for us as our first store in Wales needed to be in the best possible location. We are considering several new locations for 2010 to increase our portfolio of 20 stores, and St David’s was a priority.”
E J Hales, Lunson Mitchenall and Cushman & Wakefield advise St David’s Partnership; Cushman & Wakefield represented Deichmann; Lawson Hubbard Lowe represented Foot Asylum; Barratts was not advised.
