Mountain Warehouse and Animal join forces for dual-front store at Gloucester Quays

Mountain Warehouse, the UK’s largest specialist outdoor retailer, is set to introduce fashion retailer Animal to its offering and relocate to an upsized 7,000 sq ft outlet store at Gloucester Quays.

The new dual-frontage store boasts 220% more space than Mountain Warehouse’s existing unit. It will feature the fashion and lifestyle brand, Animal, which was acquired by Mountain Warehouse in 2021.

Mark Neale, Founder of Mountain Warehouse, commented: "Gloucester Quays has been the perfect home for our brand, so we are thrilled to announce this significant upsize within the destination.

"We are committed to providing specialist, top-quality products at great prices for lovers of the outdoors, and our new, bigger and better store will allow us to keep doing so at a first-rate level for our loyal Gloucester Quays customers."

Products on offer will include both women’s and menswear ranges of lifestyle and outdoor clothing equipped for activities such as hiking, camping, skiing, cycling, running and fitness.

Paul Carter, Asset Director at Peel L&P, added: "The recommitment of a top UK retailer in Mountain Warehouse to Gloucester Quays is a huge vote of confidence in the quality of the offer that we have curated here, as yet another retailer opting to upsize within the destination following the success of an existing store.

"We look forward to seeing Mountain Warehouse continue to go from strength to strength, providing their already established customer base with even more choice than before."

Three doors down from the new unit, Puma has launched its new 2,184 sq ft outlet. The store will feature the brand’s range of sports apparel, including its classic women's, men's, and kid's clothing ranges. NEXT also opened the doors to its new store at the outlet earlier this year.
