Once open, the British manufacturer will offer shoppers a range of high-end sporting apparel for men, women and children.
The arrival of the three retailers signals a period of positive development for the centre, as senior general manager of Highcross, Jo Tallack, notes:
“We’re delighted to welcome Sunglass Hut to Highcross, a brand who’s distinctive range of eyewear will undoubtedly appeal to the fashion-forward shoppers of Leicester, while Castore’s premium sportswear will attract those seeking high-quality sports apparel. With the sun beginning to shine and the UK’s summer of sport well underway, it feels like the perfect time to introduce these stylish new offerings.”
