The US clothing chain Brooks Brothers is launching its first outlet in the UK’s capital. It has also made an offer for a second site in London, and aims to open 12 UK retail locations within the next five years, according to media reports.
The company was formerly owned by British Marks & Spencer and was sold to Claudio Del Vecchio’s Retail Brand Alliance in 2001. Since then it has turned its attention to expanding overseas.
Brooks Brothers’ first store will be located in Old Broad Street and will offer suits, shirts, ties and accessories, as well as a bespoke service. The company plans to open the store by early November.
