SHELTER ADDS TWO MORE BOUTIQUE STORES

Leading UK housing and homeless charity Shelter continues to roll out its boutique shop concept across London with two more openings planned for south-west London.

Boutique by Shelter has signed for 39 Northcote Road, an affluent trading location close to Clapham Junction Station and Battersea Rise. White Stuff, Sweaty Betty, Jigsaw and Space NK are all nearby.

In Wimbledon Village, the charity has completed a deal at 85 High Street, a busy location close to Wimbledon Common.

Both deals are for new 10-year leases and bring the number of Boutique by Shelter stores in London to 15.

Shelter’s retained agent, HRH Retail, is targeting shop units of 1,000 sq ft in affluent London village locations for its boutique brand. It is simultaneously seeking larger units of at least 4,000 sq ft for its furniture and clothing stores on which HRH Retail is also advising.
