Arne to open third UK store in Leeds’ Victoria Leeds, occupying 3,658 sq ft

# What's happening Work is ongoing for the opening of a new Arne store in Leeds city centre. The brand has agreed terms to take a 3,658 sq ft permanent retail unit inside Victoria Quarter, part of the Victoria Leeds destination.

# What Arne will sell Shoppers can expect Arne's full offer across menswear, womenswear and footwear. The store will be Arne's third permanent location in the UK.

# Where it sits and who owns it The unit is within Victoria Quarter, the shopping and lifestyle area that forms part of Victoria Leeds. Victoria Leeds is owned and operated by Redical, the landlord responsible for leasing and asset management at the destination.

# Why the signing matters for Victoria Leeds James Edmondson, asset manager at Redical, described the Arne deal as consistent with Victoria Leeds' approach to leasing: focusing on brands with strong reputations and a quality offer to match. He framed the signing as part of an ongoing effort to keep the destination refreshed for visitors.

# Timing and local context

# Practical implications for shoppers and the centre

• Adds a contemporary fashion brand to Victoria Quarter's mix, broadening clothing and footwear choice for visitors.
• The unit size (3,658 sq ft) suggests a full-range store rather than a small-format outlet, which may include dedicated sections for menswear, womenswear and footwear.
• The signing aligns with Victoria Leeds' strategy of rotating and adding brands to maintain footfall and keep the retail offer current.

# What to watch next

• Announcement of the store's opening date and any launch events.
• Details on the store layout, in-store services, and whether the Leeds store will carry any exclusive ranges.
• Further lettings at Victoria Leeds as Redical continues to evolve the tenant mix.

# Bottom line Arne's arrival will add another permanent fashion retailer to Victoria Quarter, occupying a substantial retail unit and offering the brand's full range. The move is presented by Redical as part of purposeful leasing to keep Victoria Leeds appealing to visitors.
