Menswear brand Skopes to open largest store yet at Leeds White Rose
Menswear brand Skopes is set to open its largest store yet at the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds.
Opening later this month, the 3,800 sq ft store will become the brand’s 20th location in the UK and its launch will signify a homecoming for the brand, which was founded in Leeds in 1948.
The store will offer a range of menswear, including suits, outerwear, shirts, footwear, and accessories in a variety of styles, fits, and colours.
Skopes at White Rose will be the latest of its next-generation concept stores, which first opened at Westfield London in 2018. The retailer has since brought this concept to Meadowhall in Sheffield and Newcastle’s Metrocentre.
Steven Foster, centre director at White Rose Shopping Centre, said: “It’s a pleasure to welcome Skopes to our line-up here at White Rose. Skopes has built a great reputation as a leading menswear retailer in the past ten years, and we’re thrilled to support a Leeds born-and-bred brand. The new store is set to open with a splash, and we know our guests will enjoy Skopes’ offering.”
Simon Cope, CEO of Skopes, said: Simon said: “Leeds isn’t just where Skopes was founded; it’s in our blood. The city’s heritage in textiles and its appreciation for quality and style have shaped us from day one.
“As the textile industry in Leeds evolved, so has Skopes. We’ve continuously adapted to the changing needs of our customers – including rolling out a broad range of sizes not typically found on the high street – while remaining relevant and maintaining our point of difference.
“Opening a store in our home city has been on the agenda for a few years and we’ve been waiting for the right location to become available. The White Rose Centre has offered us the chance to showcase our full range of clothing, footwear and accessories and to connect with our local customers in a special way. Opening our 20th store in Leeds feels like a celebration and we can’t wait to meet them at the store.”
Skopes will open at White Rose Shopping Centre on Saturday 28th September.
