TopShop to move to Strand Street?
CLOTHING chain TopShop could have a new purpose built store in Strand Street, Douglas.
Stephen Bradley for Kane Ltd has applied (12/00966/B) to the government planning committee to demolish the Leisure Amusement Arcade at 68-72 Strand Street and construct a retail store with associated accommodation.
The Arcadia Group is behind plans for the new store.
Pictures included with the application, as example of the kind of store planned, show a large glass shop front, with a spacious ground floor as well as a mezzanine floor.
Mr Bradley says in the letter accompanying the pictures: ‘The scheme proposed is one of Arcadia’s top store treatments for TopShop.’
The present TopShop store is on the corner of Duke Street and Lord Street in Douglas.
This new purpose built store in Strand Street would place the retailer in a prime location in the capital’s main street – just two doors away from Next.
The Arcadia Group describe itself as the ‘UK’s largest fashion retailer’. It also has 537 international store. Its clothing brands include BHS, Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Miss Selfridge, Outfit, TopShop, TopMan and Wallis.
