Gymshark to open second store in Westfield Stratford this summer

Gymshark will open its second UK store this summer following the success of its flagship on London’s Regent Street.

The activewear giant will move into a 7,000 sq ft unit in Westfield Stratford City, which it said will create more than 75 jobs.

The new store will be the online brand’s second UK location and comes two years after it unveiled its Regent Street store.

Gymshark founder and chief executive Ben Francis said: “When we opened Regent Street, many people asked if this was the first of many stores.

“The honest answer at the time was that we didn’t know. It quickly became incredibly successful for our brand, and store number two was on the horizon. It’s why we’re so happy to find our second home at the busiest shopping centre in the United Kingdom.

“Whether it’s to come and train, join our Run Club or grab a new hoodie, our community have clearly told us that hanging out in real life is something they love.

“To be able to bring them a second destination in such a great location that so many people visit is just incredible. I can’t wait for the doors to open.”
