Hollister fashions Lakeside opening

Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex is set to expand its fashion offering with the opening of Hollister.

Within its new space, the fashion retailer – which is a brand of Abercrombie & Fitch – will offer a range of apparel, accessories, and fragrances.

This signing comes as Lakeside looks to redefine the retail experience for its guests through a multi-million-pound investment which is transforming the centre’s interiors and external spaces.

Hollister joins a variety of retailers at Lakeside, NEXT, JD Sports, and an enhanced M&S.

Rob Jewell, managing director of asset management at Pradera Lateral, said: “From premium names like The White Company, who are set to open at the centre in 2026, to ten lakefront restaurants and leading entertainment operators, Lakeside is redefining what guests can expect from a modern retail destination. The arrival of Hollister is a key part of that transformation, further strengthening our fashion line-up and appeal to a broader audience.” 

Lakeside Shopping Centre is owned by SGS UK Retail and asset managed by Pradera Lateral. The leasing agents for this deal were Smith Young and LM Real Estate.
