The company has welcomed independent greeting card retailer Postmark to five of its 20 managed stations across Britain.
Totalling over 3,755sq ft of retail space, Postmark has taken the opportunity to open stores for the first time within Network Rail’s estate following the administration of Paperchase earlier this year.
The first store to open was London King’s Cross followed by London Bridge, London Waterloo, Birmingham New Street and London Victoria this summer.
The new leases were agreed in just two weeks, allowing the five destinations to continue to provide a premium stationery offer. To enable the stores to reopen in record time and minimise shop fitting wastage, the original store fixtures have initially been recycled.
The family-run brand specialises in British-designed products and first opened in Balham, south-west London in 2004. It has since grown to six stores in London ahead of the recent openings with Network Rail, which marks its entry into the travel retail market.
