Sweaty Betty to open new concept store at Bristol’s Cribbs Mall

Activewear brand Sweaty Betty will be opening the latest of its new concept stores at The Mall at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol later this year.

The 1,714 sq ft space on the upper level of the shopping centre will be a "dedicated destination" for the brand’s leggings and sports bras, with "elevated and welcoming" newly designed fitting rooms.

Andrea Gray, Retail Director at Sweaty Betty, said: "We’re delighted to be opening the doors to our new store in Cribbs Mall, and we can’t wait to welcome our Bristol customers to experience our new concept store."

It follows a busy 2023 for Cribbs Mall, which saw over 110,000 sq ft of leasing activity, taking the occupancy rate to nearly 100%. This included six new lettings, including Victoria’s Secret, Mango and Charles Tyrwhitt.

Scott Linard, Portfolio Director at M&G Real Estate, joint asset managers of Cribbs Mall, said: "We are delighted that Sweaty Betty has selected Cribbs Mall as its latest location in the South West and we expect their arrival to be very popular amongst the centre’s shoppers.

"As the centre approaches full occupancy, it has been great to welcome several big name brands over the past 12 months as we continue to add to the diverse retail offering to ensure there is something for everyone at Cribbs Mall.

"We are in talks with several brands interested in taking the last couple of available units at Cribbs Mall, so we hope to announce more new arrivals soon."
