Footwear specialist English Brands and men’s lifestyle retailer Burrows & Hare will both launch stores at the Mailbox in Birmingham.
English Brands will open in August, while Burrows & Hare will launch its shop in the autumn.
David Pardoe, head of marketing, retail and tenant engagement at the Mailbox, said: “We’re extremely proud to offer a platform to our retailers whereby they can connect with the region’s discerning consumers, and it’s fantastic that the Mailbox is being recognised by independent brands in this way.”
Azeem Ansari, director of Burrows & Hare, added: “While Birmingham may be called the second city, we see it as the only place to be right now. With the broader investment and bigger companies looking at moving to the city, we couldn’t be happier to be joining at such an exciting time.”
Nash Bond and GVA are leasing agents for the Mailbox.
The news comes after Brockton Capital and joint investor Milligan put the Mailbox up for sale for £235m.
