From Pop-up to Permanent: House of CB’s Oxford Street Growth

  • House of CB opens permanent flagship store on Oxford Street
  • Expansion from pop-up store to a larger space
  • Colliers advises landlord on the deal
  • Brand’s third UK store, with more international locations

Fashion retailer House of CB is expanding its presence on Oxford Street, moving from a temporary pop-up store to a permanent flagship location. The womenswear brand has acquired an additional 35,000 sq ft space at the same site as its current 10,000 sq ft pop-up store on 225 Oxford Street. This move comes after the success of their temporary store, which opened in December and marks the brand’s third store in the UK, following locations in Westfield Stratford and Manchester Arndale. House of CB has also established standalone stores in Los Angeles and Atlanta. Colliers, the international real estate advisor, advised the landlord on the deal. The retailer initially opened as a purely online business but has since shifted to physical stores in various locations. This latest expansion highlights the importance of bricks-and-mortar stores for many brands.
