Owned by Kurt Geiger, the off-price footwear retailer Shoeaholics has launched a new retail site at Westfield London, which is situated in White City.
At 25,000sq ft, it is the retail brand’s largest site in the UK. Launched back in 2014 by luxury British footwear and accessories retailer Kurt Geiger as an off-price online pure play company, it stocks brands including Aldo, Carvela, Steve Madden, Birkenstock, Skechers, Fitflop, Hunter and Superga at between 30 per cent and 40 per cent lower than the recommended retail price.
Mark Hoyal-Mitchell, Head of Shoeaholics, said: “Shoeaholics has seen a huge increase in demand throughout the pandemic with individual consumer spend in many cases three times the norm. I am delighted to have opened our flagship store at Westfield London, it’s the biggest shoe store in the UK and we expect to see consumer demand to continue to increase, especially as we come out of lockdown. We have made a conscious effort to build on the momentum from the last year and have done this by opening seven stores since last year during a time when other retailers are leaving the high street. This is a confident move that reflects both the UK’s continued love for shoes and consumer focus on value in these uncertain economic times.”
