Luke opens second store in Cardiff

  Fashion brand Luke 1977 is to open its second UK store at St David’s in Cardiff.   Luke 1977 will open a 1,700 sq ft shop close to other fashion stores Republic and Hollister.   All Saints plans to double the size of its store at St David’s to a new 8,500 sq ft shop. It follows Republic’s decision to upsize into a double-fronted store at the shopping centre.   Joanne Skilton, of Capital Shopping Centres, on behalf of St David’s Partnership, the joint venture between CSC and Land Securities, said: “The newest, most in demand, fashion brands such as Luke want to open in St David’s as they know they will be in one of the UK’s best locations to showcase their brand. St David’s has taken Cardiff into the top tier of fashion retailing.”   annabel.dixon@estatesgazette.com
