Charles Tyrwhitt continues retail expansion with 40th UK store at Lakeside

British menswear brand Charles Tyrwhitt is gearing to open its 40th UK store on 27 June at Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, with "several new store openings planned in the coming months".

The new 1,200 sq ft Lakeside store will offer a curated range of formal tailoring, "smart-casual staples", knitwear and accessories.

There will also be several in-store services, including a complimentary measuring service, one-to-one styling appointments and click-and-collect.

Retail Director at Charles Tyrwhitt, Lewis Felix, said: "Our exciting new store opening in Lakeside, marks a significant milestone as the 40th store in our UK estate. It allows us to build on our recent retail momentum, while bringing our brand and product proposition to the county of Essex, once again - having opened in Chelmsford in 2022.

"Lakeside is a key retail hub, and this store plays an important role in our wider expansion plans across the UK, helping us connect with even more customers looking for quality, fit and style."

Rob Jewell, Managing Director, Asset Management at Pradera Lateral, added: "We are proud to welcome CharlesTyrwhitt to Lakeside Shopping Centre. Its classic heritage, strong brand identity and varied product range will make a positive contribution to the growing men’s retail offering at Lakeside.

"The arrival of exciting brands such as these highlights our commitment to providing unrivalled retail experiences – underpinned by an ambition to bring the very best brands to our customers."

While the store will open its doors without a formal launch event, Charles Tyrwhitt is planning a special in-store celebration of the opening for local customers in the autumn.

At the end of April Charles Tyrwhitt reported a "strong" performance for the 53 weeks ending 3 August 2024, with turnover rising to £305.8 million - up from £269.2 million the previous year.
