A new store has strutted in to The Flying Horse Walk, and is the
second new tenant in a matter of months for the Nottingham shopping
mall in a deal secured by FHP.
The arcade has welcomed Trendyfeel, a mid-high end fashion
store, which specialises in women's accessories such as designer
jewellery, handbags, belts and scarves and fragrances. The store is
a new venture which has been set up by owner Bei Bei Liu. This is
the second letting at The Flying Horse walk since it was acquired
by London & County (Nottingham LLP) in September.
The London-based property investment and development group has
already reverted back to the original name of The Flying Horse Walk
from the FH Mall.
Miss Liu said: "I am very excited to have joined The Flying
Horse Walk. I have been planning to open my own boutique for a
while now, but I had a very specific idea on how I wanted it to be
and what I wanted to sell. My aim is to provide a wide range of
accessories and gifts around the world that are unique to
Nottingham and have an element of quirkiness to them. I want people
to come to my store, because they know they will be able to get
something very different.
"When I was choosing a location for my shop, I wanted a base
that would fit with my range and like my product, was a bit
different. The Walk is perfect. It is already home to a number of
unique independents, who have a loyal customer base. I also think
that the location is great - as we will get a lot of passing trade
as people cross to either end of the city."
Simon Blair of London & County says: "This letting is really
positive news for the Nottingham retail scene. Not long before
Christmas we also let another unit to George Thornton Art and
already have other potentials in the pipeline, so it shows that
retailers are definitely seeing the benefit of the arcade. We
really value independent retailers, and feel that is gives us
something unique to offer Nottingham shoppers."
Other occupiers in the arcade include The Cheese Shop, Atomic,
Whitewall Gallery, Canopy, Berketex, Ann Harvey, Inspired, Sugacane
and independent fashion retailer Frocks & Rocks.
Frankie Labbate of FHP said: "It is great to welcome another
unique tenant to The Flying Horse Walk. The fact that this is the
second store to be taken at The Walk in such a short space of time
shows that there is real demand for the units and particularly,
this location."
