In an eventful year for Watford’s High Street and shopping centre these six businesses have opened in atria Watford.
Many of the biggest brands in Watford choose the location, right in the town centre, to operate within the town meaning it pulls in customers from across the area.
So take a look at what you might have missed below.
Moss
Moss, formerly Moss Bros, moved from Watford High Street to the shopping centre's upper mall to fill a vacant unit as part of the brand's store expansion programme on March 27.
The 2,271-square-foot location stocks menswear. Moss CEO Brian Brick said: “As we continue our new store expansion programme, we're delighted to open our latest at atria in a centre that’s at the heart of the Watford shopping experience."
Haute Dolci
On May 22, Haute Dolci then joined Moss in atria Watford. The Dessert brand took over the 3,500-square-foot Gourmet Burger Kitchen unit facing out onto the High Street.
Its menu features a variety of treats including waffles, crêpes, pancakes, ice cream, macaroons, chocolate-dipped strawberries, and cakes.
It also offers cocktails, milkshakes, coffees, and a vegan menu.
Klass
Womenswear company Klass took over from Joules, which closed in December last year, in the shopping centre’s unit 9.
The store’s managers told the Watford Observer its first day (May 24) was a success and highlighted positive comments from locals who made it down.
Melbe Home
After Watford’s Paperchase shut when the business fell into administration last year, Melbe Home has opened in its former unit on July 8.
The retailer has made a name for itself by selling products of authentic Turkish and Bohemian styles.
TK Maxx
The biggest on the list, TK Maxx opened in atria Watford with fanfare on July 27 this year.
A spokesperson said: “Today marks the opening of the new TK Maxx store in atria Watford shopping centre, offering great quality and savings on big-brand fashion, accessories, beauty and homeware all in one place.”
Footasylum
The most recent entry, Footasylum, only opened its 6,000-square-foot unit on Friday (October 6).
The sportswear and streetwear store is next to Holland and Barrett in the shopping centre’s lower mall.
