Sephora picks Bristol’s Cabot Circus for first store in the South West

Sephora is set to open its first store in the south west of England at Hammerson’s Cabot Circus in Bristol.

The beauty retailer’s new store will open in the spring, offering a range of products including exclusive ‘Only at Sephora’ brands.

This news follows the launch of a flagship 80,000 sq ft M&S store at Cabot Circus last year, and Sephora will arrive shortly after a new ODEON cinema which is due to open in February.

The signing marks Hammerson’s second letting to Sephora, following the brand’s opening at Birmingham’s Bullring for its Midlands debut.

Paul O’Brien, director of leasing and commercialisation at Hammerson, said: “We’re thrilled to be welcoming Sephora to Cabot Circus and we know customers will be too. Securing this beauty powerhouse underpins Cabot Circus’ leading position in the South-West and underscores the demand for our prime city location. It builds on a series of carefully curated new arrivals across retail, food, drink and leisure. These brands are choosing to grow with us in the heart of Bristol, drawn to our location and catchment across the city and beyond, enabling the best and latest experiences for our customers.”
