The highly anticipated Harrods Outlet is gearing up to launch in Westfield, offering eager shoppers a fresh destination to explore during the bustling summer clearance sale weeks. This move marks a strategic shift for the renowned luxury department store, as it aims to manage the expected surge in foot traffic at its iconic Knightsbridge flagship store, which is set to reopen after a prolonged closure – a first in its 170-year history.
The decision to unveil a temporary outlet store in Westfield London aligns with Harrods’ commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its customers and employees. By spreading out the shopping experience across two floors, the new branch has been meticulously designed to allow for ample social distancing, providing a comfortable and secure environment for all.
Michael Ward, Harrods’ Managing Director, underscored the importance of adapting to the current retail landscape to foster growth and enhance the overall shopping experience. He highlighted that Harrods Outlet will play a pivotal role in promoting social distancing protocols while also seamlessly transitioning customers to the latest seasonal collections.
As the flagship store in Knightsbridge prepares to reopen its doors on June 15th, the Westfield branch is expected to follow suit in early July. Through this strategic expansion into new retail spaces, Harrods is showcasing its resilience and commitment to evolving in response to changing market dynamics. With a focus on responsible business practices, the luxury retailer is poised to navigate the post-lockdown retail environment with confidence and success.
