The UK’s leading owner and manager of community shopping centres, Capital & Regional announced the news and confirmed this is the only new store to be added to Matalan’s UK portfolio in 2020.
Keeping family at the heart of the brand, the Maidstone store includes womenswear fashion inspiration, fantastic kidswear, menswear and on trend homeware, all under one roof. Relocating from a previous unit on the edge of the town centre, the new store at the Mall Maidstone offers a new and exciting high street location for customers, with the most up to date fit out.
“Matalan is a perfect fit for us in Maidstone, enhancing the everyday needs-based clothing and homeware offer at the centre, as well as the staple, dependable family offer that’s key for our local community. It’s been a tremendous team effort to open this new store in the current retail climate, an effort that speaks to the incredible professionalism and resolve of both project teams. We’re also incredibly proud as a business to have the retailer’s only new store opening this year at one of Capital & Regional’s centres” said Gareth Holland, leasing executive at Capital & Regional, who led on the deal.
Antony Darbyshire, property director at Matalan commented: “We’re delighted with our major new Maidstone store, and impressed that we’ve been able to open on time – it’s been a great team effort across the board.”
