Women’s clothing retailer Bonmarché will open in a 2,396 sq ft unit at the Junction Retail and Leisure Park in Antrim on Thursday July 27, bringing occupancy at the scheme to 84%.
It joins a roster of clothing brands such as Menarys, Animal and Mountain Warehouse, and it will be its 11th store in Northern Ireland. It will create six jobs, taking its UK-wide company payroll to 1,840.
Established in 1982, Bonmarché is one of the UK’s largest womenswear value retailers, with the ambition of being the destination multi-channel retailer for women who want appropriately styled, quality products at fantastic prices.
The Junction, which is owned by Lotus Property, is 20 years old this year, and was acquired by Lotus back in 2018. Lotus is advised by joint agents, Savills and Lambert Smith Hampton.
Lotus asset manager Paul McCann said: “There is a demand for clothing retailers in Antrim, and they consistently perform well at the scheme. It’s something our shoppers want and the arrival of Bonmarché will further strengthen our offering.
“It is an exciting time for the scheme – we have reached 84% occupancy across the Junction’s 300,000sq ft of retail space, with more new tenants on their way later this year.”
Karen Staton, projects & development director at Bonmarche, added: “We are delighted to be opening at the Junction to bring customers iour inclusive clothing range that makes women feel comfortable, fashionable and fabulous.”
