BOSS to relocate and upsize at Lakeside in Essex

BOSS has signed for a larger unit at Lakeside in Essex, spanning 4,218 sq ft in a prime position at the shopping centre – moving from a smaller unit on the lower mall.

The expanded and refitted store will open this summer, though an exact date has not yet been revealed.

The BOSS store upsizing follow two other recent expansions at Lakeside, with Goldsmiths jewellers upgrading to a 3,714 sq ft space and TAG Heuer expanding to a 431 sq ft store.

Rob Detheridge, Asset Manager at Global Mutual, which operates on behalf of Lakeside owner SGS, said: “These upsizes are testament to the strength of our relationship with the brands involved and to strong performance across existing stores to date.

“It also speaks to the compelling offer here at the centre more broadly. Retailers continue to target prime space like our own – where the location and the tenant mix is strong, meaning healthy footfall is guaranteed.

“These expansions by household names will further enhance our offer, and we know visitors will welcome the news.”

The news follows other recent additions at Lakeside, including regional flagships for Pull & Bear, Stradivarius and H&M Home, as well as a relocation for M&S.
