NEW LOOK SETS THE TREND WITH NEW FLAGSHIP
STORE OPENING AT LIVERPOOL ONE

Grosvenor Britain & Ireland has announced that global
fashion retailer, New Look, has relocated from its
temporary store on Upper South John Street to a new
20,000sq ft flagship retail space at 19 South John Street,
renewing the brand’s long-standing commitment to
Liverpool ONE.
New Look first entered Liverpool ONE in 2008,
launching its largest British store as part of the brand’s
wider UK expansion, and the store has since gone from
strength to strength. Over 13 highly successful years later,
the trend-led, inclusive fashion brand has selected 19
South John Street to further its bricks-and-mortar success
at Liverpool ONE.
The new store consists of a striking two-floor atrium
space, complete with bespoke lighting features, showcasing
new seasonal launches and exclusive collections.
Additionally, large state-of-the-art screens display the
brand’s latest clothing, showing customers different ways
to style New Look pieces whilst they are shopping.
