White Stuff picks Gatwick for airport debut
White Stuff is set to open its first store within an airport next month within London Gatwick’s North Terminal.
Taking a 1,044 sq ft space, the fashion retailer will offer a range of womenswear and menswear including holiday items such as swimwear, summer dresses, t-shirts, shorts, and linen.
White Stuff has recently been ramping up its expansion across the UK, and now operates 123 stores and 54 concessions nationwide.
Tracey Verghese, trading director at White Stuff, said: “Opening our first airport store is a major milestone for White Stuff, introducing our brand to many more customers every year. Our unique designs and quality fabrics will be a great addition to London Gatwick’s portfolio of brands.
“London Gatwick marks our eighth opening or relocation in 2024, as we continue to extend White Stuff’s reach and customer base. We can’t wait to meet all the travellers, especially those who may not have experienced White Stuff before.”
London Gatwick has invested over £10 million into its newly redeveloped North Terminal departure lounge, which now features contemporary seating and flooring as well as a new orientation zone.
Bozena Stoiceva, account lead speciality retail at London Gatwick, added: “We are really excited to be welcoming White Stuff’s first airport store later this year. White Stuff is a premium British brand and will be a popular addition to the North Terminal, which has recently undergone a multi-million-pound redevelopment.
“We are delighted top brands continue to see the value of having a presence at London Gatwick, with our fantastic array of more than 220 global destinations and diverse passenger demographic proving a big draw.”
