South Gloucestershire shopping centre The Mall at Cribbs Causeway is home to more than 150 shops and restaurants. And this year it has welcomed a huge name with brand new luxury department store Harrods Beauty as well as other stores including Tommy Hilfiger, Bremont and Ribble Cycles.
And three more big names are set to join the line-up. Footwear and accessories favourite, Kurt Geiger, and sister brand Carvela are set to join the Cribbs Causeway family, as well as food chain Slim Chickens, which already has a branch at Cabot Circus.
Kurt Geiger has already opened its doors with the store located on the lower level, next to JD. Meanwhile, Carvela will occupy a 1,622 sq ft unit, near to the centre of the Mall - opening its doors in June 2022, offering a range of styles and accessories, including trainers, heels and ankle boots along with bags, phone cases and sunglasses.

Slim Chickens, which originated in Arkansas, USA, in the noughties, started a UK roll out in 2018. It specialises in fresh chicken cooked to order with homemade sauces and salads, and will sit among the other family dining eateries at the heart of The Mall when it also opens in June 2022.
Speaking on the recent additions Colin Flinn, spokesperson for The Mall at Cribbs Causeway, said: “The strength of bigger regional retail centres in strategic, accessible locations is clear to see and Cribbs is benefiting from significant ongoing levels of occupier interest with occupancy hitting 96 per cent.
"With 30,000 sq ft of lettings last year to lifestyle, beauty and accessories businesses, The Mall continues to expand and broaden its retail and restaurant offer which delivers the experiential proposition that modern physical retail demands.

"Cribbs is the crossroads of the South West, bolstered by the opening of the nearby Planet Ice rink in the latter part of 2021. With significant new development taking place across the area supported by growth in the wider local population base in this part of Bristol, the retailer community is undoubtedly recognising the trading opportunity Cribbs provides as physical store portfolios are refined to meet the needs of post-pandemic shoppers.”
Ross Warden, Retail Director at Kurt Geiger and Carvela, also commented on the brand new openings, saying: “On behalf of Kurt Geiger and Carvela, we are excited to be joining Cribbs Causeway’s retail scene as we continue to expand our stores across the UK. We thoroughly look forward to welcoming our customers in Bristol to these two new concepts.”
