Sales growth at Liverpool's Metquarter

Jennina O'Neill, Head of Marketing at the Metquarter, says: "The opening of Secret Drawer reflects our ambition to support Liverpool's thriving fashion and design industry."

The opening of Secret Drawer comes as the Metquarter, which houses brands such as DKNY Jeans, Flannels, Hugo Boss and MAC, has witnessed an average footfall increase of almost 20% over the first two quarters, significantly out-performing the national average.

This has led to like for like sales growth of 15% at a time when many are tightening their purse strings. Jennina believes this is down to the brand mix and excellent customer shopping experience. She said: "We have a really diverse product mix on offer at the Metquarter which is one of our strengths and is certainly helping maintain the growth we have seen."

Despite being virtually fully let, interest from new tenants has also increased. Secret Drawer comes on the back of three recent lettings completed to Hamiltons, Azendi and DKNY Jeans.
