ARNE picks Bluewater for six-month pop-up
ARNE is has opened its first regional store in the South East of England at Landsec’s Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.
The opening of the 2,800 sq ft pop-up follows ARNE’s two-week pop-up on Carnaby Street last year, as the Liverpool-born brand looks to expand its physical retail presence.
Located on Bluewater’s Lower Guildhall, the store offers a range of ARNE’s menswear, womenswear, and footwear collections.
During the pop-up’s opening weekend, footfall at Bluewater increased by 5%, compared to the same weekend last year.
ARNE opened its debut permanent store at Landsec’s Liverpool ONE in 2025, and has joined a series of new fashion and lifestyle arrivals at Bluewater, including Jack & Jones and HUSH, with Danish lifestyle retailer Søstrene Grene set to open soon.
Clare Dutton, portfolio director at Landsec, said: “ARNE is an example of a brand that has built a strong following and is now investing in physical retail to reach customers in new locations. Having already established a successful presence at Liverpool ONE, we’re pleased to welcome the brand to another of Landsec’s centres.
“The Guildhall is becoming a key destination for premium brands, with a curated mix of classic and contemporary retailers. Its strong audience of affluent shoppers makes it an ideal location for ARNE to explore new opportunities through a flexible retail format.”
