Shoe retailer Dune London is set to return to Newcastle city centre with the opening of a new store, documents reveal.
The popular footwear firm has applied for permission to make changes to a unit within the upmarket Central Arcade building close to Monument, at 136-138 Grainger Street, which was the Cath Kidston store for eight years before closing its doors in 2020. The move marks a return to a standalone store for Dune London, which had its own shop within Eldon Square before its closure during the pandemic.
It also serves as a vote of confidence in the city centre, as well as Central Arcade. Central Exchange, the Grade II-listed triangular property which includes Central Arcade, was snapped up real estate billionaires the Reuben Brothers last October, who paid ‘significantly’ more than the £11.75m asking price.
