Cath Kidston is the latest brand to open at Intu Lakeside, with Calzedonia and Intimissimi due to arrive at the Essex shopping centre next summer, it emerged on Thursday.

They will open ahead of the launch of a leisure extension delivering 175,000 square feet of extra space at the end of 2018. The extension will further expand the centre’s existing retail mix, which already includes high-end retailers such as Hugo Boss, Mac and Victoria’s Secret, and fast-fashion brands including Primark, Dorothy Perkins and H&M.

Cath Kidston has opened a 1,492-square-foot store at Intu Lakeside, while Calzedonia and Intimissimi have signed up for a dual-fronted store occupying 1,606 square feet of space.

Rebecca Ryman, regional managing director at Intu, said: “Cath Kidston, Calzedonia and Intimissimi are the latest top brands to select intu Lakeside as the right destination from which to attract a high proportion of female and affluent customers from across the south east.

“We’re strengthening intu Lakeside’s quality shopping experience with a number of exciting brands signing up for new or extra space, and the opening of Intu Lakeside’s complementary leisure offer next year will provide more places for shoppers to dine and play as part of their visit with us.”
