Bristol cabot circus beating recession The former zavvi store in the mall
bristol formerly the galleries has reopened as entertainment store head, and the
covered precinct has just seen a new baguette shop open.A further four new store
openings are set to be announced soon and three more are in the pipeline. When
the 500m cabot circus opened last september, 90 per cent of the units were taken
and there has been a steady stream http://olympic-airport-taxis.co.uk/
of lettings since. Cabot circus centre director richard belt said: "These recent
lettings to wellrespected brands continue to demonstrate retailer confidence in
cabot circus, despite challenging market conditions and a ukwide downturn.
Louis
Vuitton Bags UK Sale " David ball, retail property manager for
joules, described quakers friars as a"Perfect"Spot for the company to open a
branch. He said: "Bristol has undergone a face lift in the past few years and is
a vibrant city.A number of great brands have opened in the centre, which has
really helped put bristol on the retail map. "We know that our target customer
lives in this area. " Managing director tom joule said"Bristol is a fantastic
city with lots to offer and we are thrilled to be opening our shop on april 2. "
Gant spokeswoman ella hitchins said: "Our location and positioning within cabot
circus is key for our brand as it provides our customers with easy access,
plenty of parking spaces, in a premium location with excellent dining contained
within a scenic square. " North face's manager for the uk and ireland, andrew
barker, said the company was looking to expand. Mr barker, 32, a keen skier and
climber, said: "We have been looking at major uk cities that have new
developments such as cabot circus.It was an obvious choice for us. " Colin lang,
general manager at the mall bristol said: "Overall, the lettings situation is
looking very encouraging, with new food outlet the baguette shop opening in the
mall three weeks ago. " He said a further four new stores were currently the
subject of legal discussions and the names of the companies involved would be
announced soon.Negotiations to seal three more lettings were also at an advanced
stage. The mall bristol is also supporting budding local entrepreneurs by giving
them the chance to try out their business idea for free. Local entrepreneurs
were invited to submit their business idea for the chance to trade on one of the
mall's retail merchandising units for free for two weeks.The four finalists are
currently battling it out in the mall, with the winner going through to the
national finals for the chance to win six months free trading. The news of shop
openings followed grim news for shops in bristol.Hardy amies was the first store
in cabot circus to close, just three months after the precinct opened for
business. Former high street favourite woolworths, which had a 12 stores in the
bristol area including a branch at the mall bristol, saw 529 people lose their
jobs. Ben yearsley of bristol's financial specialists hargreaves lansdown said
the signs were good but the economy was still in a"Precarious"State. He said:
"In general terms some retailers are doing well.Sainsbury's has just announced a
2.7 per cent profit for the fourth quarter and that's quite positive Louis

interest rates and people are starting to feel the effect of money in their
pockets.I think the five new stores coming to cabot circus have probably been
given excellent rent deals.If they have driven a good bargain then you can see
the logic. "But bristol is not out of the woods yet.There are bound to be job
losses with the lloyds tsb hbos merger.I wouldn't want to dampen people's
enthusiasm.Lots of money is being chucked at the system, at the salvage
packages. " I don't know bristol very well in terms of shops(Never been to
frenchay or thornbury, but harry thinks there are superb independent shops
there).The finest kitchen shop i have ever been to is on whiteladies road.As for
gift shops and arts crafts(Where do bristol's prolific artistic people buy their
stuff? )Again i have to repeat myself there are dozens of these in our very
individual districts.Whereas cardiff has a lovely deli in the centre, bristol
finally has a couple in cabot circus;But we've always had them in bishopston,
clifton village, montpelier and elsewhere, and gift shops too.There are many
areas in london that are devoid of organic shops;In b'ham my organic, vegan
brother and his wife are not as fortunate as many here who are able to find
everything in one or two shops and they much prefer bristol.As we all know it is
the home of the soil association.I shop for organic food and local produce where
i can, usually traveling to st pauls where my local organic shop is situated,
nearest to me from clifton.I used to shop at fresh wild, which sadly is now
closed because the majority of people from bristol rather buy from the unethical
supermarkets.When i go to london i shop at wholefoods and many other organic
delis and shops.Also when i am in london, i dine at organic restaurants my
favourite being an organic indian restaurant in fulham.Birbeck, you mention
about designer brands.It is actually the majority of high street brands in
bristol cabot circus and the wider uk,(Including london)That sell unethical,
mass produced clothes from places like indonesia, that are usually sold in shops
like north face.Versace, bottega veneta, prada, louis vuitton and salvatore
ferragamo etc.These luxury fashion houses produce clothes in italy and france,
where couturiers are paid fair wages to produce the high quality garments that
they are famed for.I agree with maxine, it would be nice if there were more
independent stores, like they have in bath to a larger extent london, for
example the kings road.I'm sure many in leeds, liverpool(Uk's fashion capital),
Manchester and Newcastle don't worry how they are going to acquire the highend
designer clothes, more of them are so obsessed with labels and because they are
so gullible these designer stores are there.However, these same cities are not
known for their commitment to the environment, organic, veggie, vegan, ethical,
eco concerns.Bristolians, in the main, being a very outdoor lot, would rather a
north face store than versace.
