Clarks Village, the UK’s first ever outlet centre located near Glastonbury, has announced a raft of new signings across the fashion, beauty and accessories categories.

New stores at the outlet centre include Hobbs, Molton Brown, Skechers, Suit Direct, Saltrock, Red 5 and The Beauty Outlet, of which many were scheduled to launch coinciding with Easter holiday trading.

For Easter, Clarks Village launched its largest TV and outdoor advertising campaign to date, which reached over 7 million people and drove sales to grow by 10%. According to the company spend per head was also up by 7.5% as shoppers enjoyed the broader offer.

“These new brands have been incredibly well received with all of them beating their opening targets and many being positively referenced in our shoppers’ latest Trip Advisor reviews,” said Chris Davis, Clarks Village Retail Manager.

“They represent a broad spread across the categories which has enhanced the completeness of the village and driven spend.”
