In Pictures: Hobbs and Phase Eight reveal new dual fascia store at Scotland’s Caledonia Park

TFG London-owned brands Hobbs and Phase Eight have now opened their 3,000 sq ft dual fascia store at Caledonia Park designer outlet village in Gretna, Scotland, in time for the run-up to Christmas.

It marks Hobbs’ first outlet in Scotland and Phase Eight’s second, joining the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, BOSS and Polo Ralph Lauren at the discount designer outlet village, formerly known as Gretna Gateway and owned by Railpen.

The new store showcases “a broad collection of classic and elegant womenswear” including coats, jackets and knitwear, alongside shoes, bags, and accessories.

The space has been designed by the brands’ in-house teams, “boasting a relaxed and warm environment” with a fresh and light interior, incorporating soft materials and wood finishings.

Caraline Money, Global Group Retail Director at TFG Brands, said: “The opening of Hobbs’ first outlet in Scotland is a huge milestone for us. Scotland, and Caledonia Park specifically, deliver so much potential and opportunity in terms of demographic and spend and we are excited to be part of a destination that is continuing to grow and evolve.

“We look forward to delivering Hobbs and Phase Eight’s timeless collections to a wider audience, just in time for the Christmas period.”

Maria Averkina, Asset and Development Manager at Railpen, commented: “The opening of Hobbs and Phase Eight further illustrates the growth that Caledonia Park has witnessed this year. It highlights the success of our investment and refurbishment in creating a space that attracts high quality retailers.

“These new brands complement our varied mix of aspirational labels and provide that luxury element which we know consumers value, and we look forward to watching them thrive at Caledonia Park.”

Caledonia Park is set to continue on its positive leasing trajectory with a number of brands “in advanced discussions” to join the scheme next year.
