Some 20 retail brands have taken new stores in Leeds so far this year, with a distinct bias towards ‘aspirational’ brands, new market analysis has revealed.
The research by Savills shows that various retailers, including Zara Home, Samsung, Oliver Bonas and Snow & Rock, have all taken new units in the city in 2016, taking the total number of new brands which have arrived in Leeds since 2013 to 118.
Tom Whittington, director in Savills commercial research team, said: “The trend for retailers heading to Leeds has accelerated in the past three years, with 15 per cent of all the retail brands present in the city arriving in this time. We expect this only to continue as new schemes open.”
