Shaftesbury Capital has announced that Arc’teryx, the high-performance outdoor apparel brand, has now opened its new flagship store within the newly refurbished listed building at 41-42 King Street in Covent Garden.
Arc’teryx’s new flagship store spans 8,000sq ft and delivers a wide variety of the brand’s technical gear, footwear and accessories, incorporating a range of outdoor sports such as trail running, climbing, hiking, skiing and more. The new space also provides a range of services, such as Arc’teryx’s circularity programme, ReBIRD™, which focuses on the care, repair and up-cycling of its products. The space boasts a clean and minimal interior, as well as a community room and knowledgeable product guides to enhance the visitor experience.
The brand has been a part of Shaftesbury Capital’s portfolio for over two years and its move to King Street illustrates the active management delivered by the leading landlord and the recommitment of a high-quality name to Covent Garden.
Arc’teryx’s new flagship store sits alongside a raft of retailers on King Street, such as Creed, Glossier, Hackett, Jo Malone London, Mejuri, Polo Ralph Lauren and Reformation and enhances the performance wear line-up across the whole portfolio, joining HOKA, Peloton, Axel Arigato and Vivo Barefoot.
Michelle McGrath, Executive Director, Shaftesbury Capital, commented on the opening: “We are pleased to support Arc’teryx’s growth within Covent Garden and deliver a newly refurbished heritage space for the brand to thrive. Its significant upsize onto King Street is a testament to the unique opportunities we provide as well as our role in nurturing and investing in our customers, whilst we continue to create a thriving, experiential mixed-use district.”
