COS and Monki to open in Cabot Circus

Cabot Circus, in Bristol, is set to welcome fashion retailers COS and Monki, who are set to open stores in the centre before Christmas this year.

Both retailers have signed to open their debut stores in the region as they focus strengthening their presence within the country's main retail destinations, reported global estate agency Hammerson, who owns and operates Cabot Circus.

COS is slated to open a 548 square meter store in Quakes Friars, located in a piazza in Cabot Circus and neighbouring other global retailers such as Hugo Boss and Michael Kors. Monki new store is slightly smaller and will span 344 square meters. However, the store in Cabot Circus will be Monki second store in the UK and marks its step outside of London.

"It is a great result for Cabot Circus, as well as for shoppers in the South West that these exciting international retailers have selected the centre to make their debuts," commented Iain Mitchell, UK Commercial Director at Hammerson. "Already a retail, dining and leisure hub for leading global brands it is encouraging to see Cabot Circus continuing to go from strength to strength as occupiers look to expand across the UK into the very best regional destinations."
