Fashion giant is set to open a new store in Leeds City Centre

Accessorize is set to open a new store in Leeds City Centre in a major boost to the high street.

The new store, which is currently being revamped, is set to open on the corner of Commercial Street and Briggate.

The brand is currently advertising for a store manager to work 40 hours a week at the new site with the closing date for applications on June 30.

The job advert reads: “We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Store Manager, to join our brand new Accessorize store that is opening in Leeds soon.

“Accessorize is an exciting and ethical fashion brand, dedicated to offering accessories that enable everyone to express themselves and feel confident in their everyday. Born in the 80’s, our first store opened in Covent Garden. Accessorize now has stores across the UK, Republic of Ireland and International Markets.

“We are built on a way of working we are proud of, where values and ethics go hand in hand.

“Our ideal candidate would be customer focused, reflecting the passion we have for our product and the drive to create an exceptional experience for the Accessorize customer.”

Roles are also available for part-time supervisor and part-time sales advisor.

Briggate is the beating heart of Leeds’ retail scene - and the major shopping street has proved it is no exception to being adaptable and ever-changing over the years.

Victoria’s Secret and Pop Mart have all opened their doors in the last few months along with the new Store House - a 369 purpose built en-suite block for students.

Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo is set to open its doors on Briggate later this year.

Uniqlo is a clothing apparel company originally founded in Yamaguchi, Japan in 1949 as a textiles manufacturer. Now it is a global brand with over 1,000 stores around the world.

The new Leeds store, on the site of the former House of Fraser store, will see a sales floor of approximately 1100sqm across two floors, featuring it’s ‘LifeWear’ brand.
