Leading outdoor brand Berghaus is set to open only its second standalone store in the UK at Peel Retail & Leisure’s Gloucester Quays outlet centre.
Opening this summer, the 2,117 sq ft store will be located opposite Adidas and offer products for activities such as walking, mountaineering, and climbing.
Providing a range of clothing, footwear, and equipment for both men and women, the store will be Bergahaus’s first to experiment with a new premium concept, which the brand plans to expand further into 2025.
Inspired by the natural environment, the new space will be fitted out in a minimalist design, featuring life-like foliage on the exterior, complemented by wooden furniture and metal finishes with a weather-worn look inside the store.
The arrival of Berghaus will add to the existing outdoor shopping options available at Gloucester Quays, such as Trespass, Mountain Warehouse, and The North Face.
Paul Carter, asset director at Peel Retail & Leisure, said: “Gloucester Quays has always performed well in the outdoor clothing and accessories space, and clearly Berghaus agree given this will be just their second standalone store. Adding Berghaus to our impressive line-up of outdoor brands demonstrates our commitment to responding to our customers’ needs and wants, as well as an ability to attract brands that lead in their field. It’s another landmark signing for Gloucester Quays, as we celebrate our 15th anniversary, and continue to deliver a first-class outlet experience for our catchment.”
Adam Gill, head of sales UK & Ireland at Berghaus’s parent company Pentland Brands, added: “Berghaus is delighted to be signing at Gloucester Quays. It’s a premier UK outlet and the historic architecture makes it a beautiful place. It’s a great location for Berghaus in the South West, alongside other top brands. We’re excited about opening in Gloucester Quays for many reasons. The site is ideal for showcasing our latest range of clothing, footwear, packs and accessories, all built to help people of all ages and experiences enjoy the outdoors. In addition, opening the store will also mark the start of Berghaus’ new retail strategy, which will develop and roll out over the years ahead.”
This news follows Gloucester Quays’ recent announcement of several brands committing to the outlet, including a new store for leading menswear brand Moss, and an expansion and refit for Skechers.
