Cath Kidston store expansion

Cath Kidston, the lifestyle brand known for its vintage inspired prints, is opening three

new UK stores in Chester, Nottingham and Meadowhall.

The new stores follow openings in Jersey, Aberdeen, Belfast and Bournemouth as the company continues its store expansion drive across the UK.

The Chester store, formerly occupied by All Saints, opened on 14 June while the Meadowhall and Nottingham stores will open in July and August.

Founded in 1993, Cath Kidston currently operates more than 50 shops and concessions in the UK and Ireland and has 25 shops in Asia. The company has retained property agents CBRE to help it acquire more sites throughout the UK and to advise it on ongoing expansion plans.

Chris McKendrick, commercial director, Cath Kidston said: "We are excited to be further expanding our portfolio of stores to three great locations as advised by CBRE. We are confident that these locations will be successful in introducing new customers to the brand."
