Oliver Bonas and Dr Martens are coming to Grand Arcade




Oliver Bonas, the independent British lifestyle, fashion and homeware store, and Dr Martens, the well-known footwear brand and retailer, will be opening at the Grand Arcade in Cambridge later this year, after agreeing deals with Universities Superannuation Scheme (“USS”) – one of the largest pension schemes in the UK – which owns the centre.

Oliver Bonas will move into a 3,000 sq ft ground floor space, while Dr Martens will open its new Grand Arcade store operating in the 2,100 sq ft space previously occupied by Clinton’s Cards, with both tenants hoping to open their doors in June.

The Grand Arcade continues to thrive and expand. Last December, the centre signed boutique cinema brand, Everyman, which agreed to occupy a 15,600 sq ft space on the first floor. Their deal was subject to planning conditions, which have been met this month, paving the way for works to begin to create the cinema, which is targeting an opening in 2024.

This rush of new names was followed by national jewellery retailer Beaverbrooks opening a shop, with an adjoining luxury boutique with Swiss watch brand TAG Heuer. JD Sports also launched a new 14,200 sq ft store at the centre in the same month. Both have proved hugely popular.

Martin Macwhinnie, centre manager at the Grand Arcade, said: “The signing of the three new tenants, and the exciting confirmation that all is in place for Everyman to move a step closer, is further cementing Grand Arcade’s position as a fully-integrated lifestyle destination, with a wide array of retailers providing shoppers with an enjoyable and unique shopping experience.”
