Next has opened the doors to its new flagship store in Lakeside shopping centre, featuring its first Fatface concession.

The retailer said its new 83,000sq ft store marks one of its largest retail spaces and delivers “an elevated shopping experience designed for the modern consumer”.

The store features Next’s womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, and home ranges, as well as integrated fashion brands.

The new concept also houses the retailer’s first in-store FatFace concession, alongside spaces for Bath & Body Works and Costa Coffee, which it said made the store a “one-stop destination for fashion, lifestyle, and wellness”.

Next said its new Lakeside store had been designed to enhance the customer experience and features new modern fitting rooms with increased privacy and space, as well as expansive atriums and skylights for natural light to enter the store. It also boasts six customer entrances, including a direct link to the newly reopened Multi-Storey Car Park 2.
