Crew Clothing to open at Kent’s Bluewater
Crew Clothing is set to open a new store at Landsec’s Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.
The fashion retailer’s 1,050 sq ft store represents a continued expansion from Crew Clothing, as it looks to strengthen its physical retail presence in key locations nationwide.
Founded in the back of a windsurfing shop in Salcombe in 1993, Crew Clothing has aimed to build on its connection to the coast, with its range of clothing looking to champion British sport.
Crew Clothing joins over 280 stores and food and beverage operators at Bluewater, as well as a 17-screen Showcase Cinema de Lux, Gravity Trampoline Park, and Dinotropolis Giant Soft Play.
Carol Kane, head of retail at Crew Clothing, said: “Opening at Bluewater is a really exciting moment for Crew. Over the past few years, we’ve seen strong and sustained growth across the business, and investing in a destination as iconic as Bluewater feels like a natural next step in that journey. It’s one of the UK’s most influential shopping centres, and this new store represents an important milestone for the brand as we continue to expand our physical retail presence. We’re proud of the spaces we create and the experience we offer, and we’re looking forward to welcoming both new and existing customers through the doors from day one.”
James Waugh, centre director at Bluewater, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Crew Clothing to Bluewater as part of its continued UK expansion. The brand has a rich British heritage, and its arrival reflects the ongoing demand we are seeing for premium brands to bring their collections to life in bricks-and-mortar retail environments.”
