Brent Cross Shopping Centre is preparing to welcome two new businesses, with global Spanish fashion brand Mango Kids and British lifestyle retailer Oliver Bonas set to open. Mango Kids will offer children's clothing, footwear, and accessories, joining other major brands already present at the north London location. Oliver Bonas is launching a substantial pop-up store in a prominent position previously occupied by a footwear retailer.
Centre Sees Shifting Retail Landscape
Piano Teacher Banned After Child Image Conviction
A 75-year-old former music teacher has been indefinitely banned from teaching after being convicted of child abuse image offences.
These new openings occur as the shopping centre, which marked its 50th anniversary this year, experiences other changes. The Starbucks cafe is no longer trading at Brent Cross. Additionally, Haut Dolci, a dessert kiosk, began trading earlier this month. This new kiosk offers a chocolate fountain and the opportunity for customers to create their own chocolate bars, as reported by the Ham&High.
Oliver Bonas Pop-Up Details
The Oliver Bonas pop-up store is situated on a corner site that was formerly occupied by Russell & Bromley. This luxury footwear brand ceased most of its UK operations in January. Founded in London in 1993, Oliver Bonas designs its own collections and sells a variety of women's fashion, accessories, jewellery, and homeware items. Finishing touches were being applied to the store displays, with signage indicating an imminent opening.
