Acting on behalf of retained clients Bare Escentuals, Lewis Craig recently completed the acquisition of their second UK boutique located in the grandeur of the refurbished Victorian railway station, Windsor Royal Station Shopping. The shopping centre, owned by AXA Sunlife, attracts over 160,000 weekly visitors and has a catchment of 1.8million people.
The 520 sq ft boutique was created from the split of a larger unit and has been transformed in to a fantastically stylish and female friendly environment.
Rob Wickenden says, “As soon as I looked over the premises I knew this was where Bare Escentuals had to be in Windsor. The triple aspect glazing gives the boutique a light and airy feel and perfect for showing the theatre of the Bare Escentuals make under.”
With the St Albans boutique set to open in November of this year, together with several other locations under consideration for 2011, Bare Escentuals are progressing well on their UK boutique roll-out.
