Caledonia Park welcomes duo of fashion retailers

Railpen’s Caledonia Park has welcomed the signings of fashion brands Phase Eight and Hobbs, which are set to open later this year.

The two brands will share a 3,035 sq ft unit with a dual fascia, with Hobbs and Phase Eight opening their first and second Scottish outlet stores respectively.

Their arrival will add to the Gretna centre’s existing range of high-end fashion brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, and Kate Spade New York.

Caraline Money, global group retail director at TFG Brands, which owns the two brands, said: “Hobbs’ and Phase Eight’s signing at Caledonia Park is a key, strategic moment for the brands as it signifies not only our first outlet store for Hobbs in Scotland but enables us to enhance our presence nationwide and engage with a new customer base, previously untapped.”

Maria Averkina, asset and development manager at Railpen, added: “We are pleased to welcome two, premium British brands to Caledonia Park. This is an exciting prospect for us and is indicative of the quality of retailers seeking to make the outlet village their home. Following the recent signings of Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, Caledonia Park is continuing to reinforce its position as a premium outlet village in Scotland, and we look forward to welcoming Hobbs and Phase Eight to our retail offer later this year.”
