A fashion retail group has announced plans for its largest store yet.
TFG London, which owns Hobbs, Phase Eight, Whistles, and Inside Story, is set to open its 12,000 sq ft flagship store at Liverpool ONE next spring.
This opening will mark the return of all four brands to Liverpool.
The new multi-brand store, situated at a gateway location on South John Street, will house the complete collections of the TFG brands.
This includes Hobbs' luxury fashion range, Phase Eight's occasionwear, and Whistles' contemporary womenswear line-up.
Specialist collections will also be available, including bridal and petite ranges.
The store will also feature a luxury styling suite for event shoppers.
In addition, an Inside Story homewares department will offer an extensive range of soft furnishings and home accessories.
TFG London's global retail director, Caraline Money, said: "We are thrilled to be returning to Liverpool with our new multi-site flagship store, which will house Hobbs, Whistles, Phase Eight, and Inside Story all under one roof.
"Our new store strategy is focused on opening bigger and better stores in prominent shopping destinations like Liverpool, where we have built a loyal, ever-growing customer base.
"The new store will enable us to showcase our full collection, such as petites and bridal, offering our customers the complete head-to-toe outfit suggestions for every occasion in our beautiful, enhanced store environment."
TFG London's choice of Liverpool ONE for its flagship store comes as South John Street continues to attract significant brand investments.
Fashion giant Zara recently unveiled the first stage of their significantly upsized store earlier this month, with the complete 42,000 sq ft store set to launch in December.
Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Grosvenor, said: "TFG London is another step in South John Street’s evolution, reflecting our strategy of securing new brands and upsizing existing retailers to add to its ‘best of the high street’ mix.
"Making their return to the city for the first time in five years, we’re excited to welcome Phase Eight, Hobbs, Whistles and Inside Story’s complete fashion and homewares offer, complementing our existing line-up of top retail brands."
The announcement follows the opening of Montirex’s first-ever bricks and mortar store on South John Street.
