Neom Organics London, and Australian tea retailer T2 are opening at Hammerson’s £165m Victoria Gate development in Leeds, marking the brands’ debut in the city.
Neom Organics is opening a 680 sq ft shop, its second standalone property in the UK. T2 is to open a 1,300 sq ft shop.
The 575, 000 sq ft Victoria Estate, to be launched in the autumn, will encompass both the adjacent Victoria Quarter and Victoria Gate, and include a John Lewis anchor as well as a retail line-up including Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Gant, Hackett, Anthropologie, Cos, & Other Stories and restaurant group D&D.
Robin Dobson, director of retail development at Hammerson, said: “Already ranked the third best place to shop outside London, the new brands we are bringing to Leeds has the potential to propel the city to the top spot when it launches later this year.”
Neom Organics founders, Nicola Elliott and Oliver Mennell, said: “We are thrilled to be opening our second Neom retail store; this is a natural progression for us as we build our retail portfolio for the brand. We wanted to offer a retail-only format in a high footfall environment, and Victoria Gate will certainly be high footfall.”
T2 global marketing director, Jane Hoban, added: “The UK market is very important for us as a brand emerging globally. We are hugely excited to be opening in Victoria Gate alongside such a great high-end and international brand mix.”
