Peacocks - fashion retailerFashion retailer Peacocks has submitted a planning application for the construction of a mezzanine floor in its anticipated new store in Bradley Stoke.

Plans submitted with the application show that the addition of a second level will increase the internal floor space of the shop by 33%.

The application also reveals that the store will be located in unit 3 of the ‘retail terrace’, placing it between the existing Brantano and Pets at Home outlets.

The Willow Brook Centre is yet to officially confirm Peacocks as a new tenant, but Manager Scott Lahive has said that the store could open “just after Easter”.

Peacocks are currently recruiting for staff – more details on our Bradley Stoke Jobs page.

Peacocks start looking for shop floor staff

Peacocks - fashion retailerBudget clothes retailer Peacocks has begun recruitment activities for shop floor positions at its anticipated new Bradley Stoke store.

Advertisements for management positions at a “Bradley Stoke, Bristol” location appeared earlier this month but the Willow Brook Centre was still to confirm Peacocks as a new tenant.

The company’s latest advertisement state that “Peacocks, Britain’s hottest value fashion retailer – is on its way to Bradley Stoke”.

In addition to Store Manager and Assistant Manager positions, the company says that anyone interested in becoming a ‘Sales Colleague’ at the new store should email for an application form – see our New Town Centre Jobs page for more details.

Told of the recruitment campaign, Willow Brook Centre Manager Scott Lahive commented to The Journal:

We can confirm that we are currently in very advanced discussions with Peacocks regarding them taking a store at the Willow Brook Centre. Negotiations are ongoing. If Peacocks decide to base their new store at the centre, it would potentially trade over two levels, occupying a large unit on the retail terrace alongside Brantano and Pets at Home.

Peacocks fashion store set to open at Willow Brook

Peacocks - fashion retailerBudget fashion chain Peacocks looks set to be the next retailer to open at the Willow Brook Centre after the company began advertising for jobs at a “Bradley Stoke, Bristol” location.

In a recent interview, Willow Brook Centre Manager Scott Lahive told The Journal that Peacocks had “shown interest” in opening in Bradley Stoke.

The news that the company is advertising for staff would seem to indicate that a deal has been done, although there is as yet no official confirmation from the Willow Brook Centre.

The company is advertising for a Store Manager (£18,000 – £25,000) and an Assistant Manager (£13,000 – £16,000).

Peacocks previously had a concession within the Woolworths store at the Abbey Wood Retail Park in Filton. The group has a store in Emersons Green and recently took over part of the former Woolworths store in Yate.

Another fashion retailer, New Look, has previously expressed an interest in opening at the centre but discussions with that firm are said to be “on hold”.
