TWO major brands have opened within a new store in Braehead.
We previously reported that Sports Direct opened its new and improved 20,000sqft store at the Renfrew shopping centre.
The new store will also feature two retailers within the shop, USC and Game, with the aim of bringing an 'enhanced' shopping destination to Braehead.
A dedicated area has been set out for USC, where customers can explore and shop the many lifestyle brands in one space, from branded denim and urban fashion to accessories and footwear.
We previously reported that USC had closed its existing unit in the shopping centre in order to relocate.
Meanwhile, Game is a leading games retailer and staff will be on hand to provide expert knowledge and offer shoppers the latest games, consoles and accessories.
James France, group head of real estate at Frasers Group, which owns Sports Direct, said: “We are delighted to open our Braehead Sports Direct store and bring a new and enhanced shopping destination to the centre.
"As we continue to expand our store portfolio across the UK, our ethos and commitment remain the same; we offer consumers the very best brands and an unrivalled product choice, as we aim to become the number one sports retailer in Europe.”
Steve Gray, head of European retail asset management at Global Mutual, which owns Braehead, added: “Sports Direct is a valued, long-standing tenant and much loved by our shoppers.
"The brand’s decision to open a new store reflects the success of the relationship to date and is also indicative of the continued appeal of physical retail more broadly.
“We are delighted that this expansion will also bring USC and Game into the store. These well-loved names will further enhance the offer, providing customers with even more choice.”
