FASHION RETAIL NEWS UK

Co-op has unveiled a new partnership with Bonmarché with an outlet for the fashion brand in its new-look Louth store.

The store has recently benefited from a major makeover which has included the introduction of a 3,000 square foot Bonmarché space.

Bonmarché has previously announced plans to bring more stores to UK high streets in the next 18 months. The Louth store will stock the brand’s latest trends in sizes 10-28, with collections including the Lorraine Loves Edit and an occasionwear range designed by royal couturier, David Emanuel.

Bonmarché retail director Amanda Waterfield said: “Bonmarché is delighted to be a part of the exciting re-launch of the Louth Co-op store and to be able to offer our fashion to the Louth customer.

“We cannot wait to meet the customers on the launch day, and hear their feedback on our current collections, and hope this opening will lead to more Co-op partnerships in the future.”

Featuring a new look and layout, Co-op’s Louth store now offers hot food, a bakery and Costa Coffee Express. Parcel collections services are also available through InPost Lockers and DPD.

Mark Matthews, director of format and innovation at Co-op, said: “As we invest in transforming our Louth store we are committed to creating added services which provide a compelling customer offer in the community.

“The addition of a Bonmarché store will offer further value and choice for our member-owners and customers in Louth.”
