Oliver Bonas to open first retail park stores in Glasgow and Teesside

Oliver Bonas is set to open stores in retail parks for the first time, with new locations at Glasgow Fort in September and Teesside Park later this year.

The fashion, homeware and lifestyle retailer has agreed leases with British Land for a 2,800 sq ft store at Glasgow Fort and a 3,190 sq ft unit at Teesside Park. Both locations will offer the brand's range of fashion, homeware, gifts, beauty and lifestyle products.

Sevda Cankorur, Head of Retail at Oliver Bonas, said: “We're delighted to be continuing our expansion with the opening of new stores at Glasgow Fort and Teesside Park.”

“These openings reflect our commitment to bringing Oliver Bonas to more communities across the UK. We look forward to welcoming customers through our doors and sharing our latest design-led collections, offering inspiration across fashion, homeware and gifts.”

The move marks Oliver Bonas' first venture into retail parks and follows a period of continued store expansion.

Last December, the retailer opened five stores across the UK, including new locations in Lincoln, Altrincham and Silverburn, alongside relocated stores at Westgate Oxford and London's Tottenham Court Road. At the time, it also outlined plans for 20 further store openings during 2026, including expansion into Ireland.

The Glasgow Fort opening also comes as British Land progresses plans to expand the retail destination. Earlier this year, the property company submitted a planning application for an extension that, if approved, would create one of the UK's first major retail and leisure developments in the past five years. The proposals include an expanded Marks & Spencer store alongside new leisure attractions.

Matthew Reed, Head of Asset Management at British Land, said: “As a well-established national retailer, Oliver Bonas adds real depth to our line-up and further strengthens our lifestyle proposition.”

“We're always looking at how we can reposition, reinvest and refine the mix of stores and activities at our retail parks to reflect how customers are actually spending their time and money.”
