Newbie to strengthen presence in more countries with opening of new stores and e-shop

  • Newbie, the baby and children’s collection made from sustainable materials, is now a separate chain that is continuing to expand with stores in Poland and the United Kingdom. E-shopping is also being introduced, starting in the United Kingdom.
  • “Newbie has grown in step with our customers’ unbelievable engagement. It is now truly exciting for us to establish Newbie Store in one of the world’s leading fashion capitals, London,” Camilla Wernlund, responsible for Newbie and New Business at KappAhl, says.

Mölndal, Sweden, 2017-Sep-23 — /EPR Retail News/ — Newbie, KappAhl’s children’s collection made from sustainable materials, is the viral success that, with consumer-driven collaboration, has grown in size to become as it is today (2017-09-21), an independent chain, Newbie Store.

As of today, when Newbie Store opens at Frölunda Torg in Gothenburg it has 14 stores in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland. During October-December, Newbie Stores and e-commerce will open in the United Kingdom.

“Our goal for Newbie is to be a leading children’s fashion chain providing sustainable, good-value, children’s clothing in a continuously updated whilst timeless style,” Camilla Wernlund says.

In the United Kingdom, the e-store opens on October 20 and the first physical stores will open in Richmond and Kingston, Greater London, during November-December. More Newbie Stores are planned to open at the start of 2018.

The Newbie story starts when KappAhl’s designers, in 2010, created a baby collection based on the keywords timeless, sustainable and value-for-money as well as with the idea that the garments could be handed down from one generation to the next. Newbie came into being at the right time, and went viral. There and then, many “Newbie Lovers” took the brand to their hearts and their engagement has influenced both the design and the range, creating a widespread second-hand market for the collection – which is completely in line with Newbie’s focus on sustainability. The first Newbie Store opened in Stockholm in 2014. Today, there are Newbie Stores in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Poland and, from late autumn 2017, also in the United Kingdom.  Newbie is a brand of the leading Swedish fashion retailer, KappAhl. More information at newbiestore.com.

New Zealand: Foodstuffs supermarkets invests more than $200 million on new stores and store refurbishments nationwide

Auckland, New Zealand, 2016-Aug-01 — /EPR Retail News/ — A stocktake of property developments currently underway by Foodstuffs supermarkets shows more than $200 million is being invested nationwide on new stores and store refurbishments.

Work includes the construction of seven new stores, worth around $120 million in total – four in the North Island and three in the South. Another $80 million is being spent on upgrades for 11 stores.

The four North Island stores currently being built are: PAK’nSAVE Tauriko, in Tauranga; New World Te Kuiti; New World Papakura, in South Auckland; and PAK’nSAVE Tamatea, in Napier.

Another five North Island stores have upgrades underway: PAK’nSAVE Clendon, in South Auckland; New World Willis Street, in Wellington, New World Pahiatua, New World Metro in Auckland’s CBD, and New World Orewa. Work has just finished at New World Pioneer Highway, in Palmerston North.

Foodstuffs (North Island) Ltd General Manager Property Development Lindsay Rowles says, it’s an exciting time for retail development in New Zealand, with multiple growth opportunities.

“Consumers are becoming more discerning about where they shop,” says Rowles. “Some want more modern facilities and a wider range of products, while others are focussed on cost savings and environmental sustainability. We are well aware of all those factors, and are investing in order to cater for these needs well into the future.”

Rowles, who only recently moved here from Australia after 13 years in retail property development for Woolworths and ALDI, says retailers are recognising the importance of putting customer desires at the centre of their planning, including the physical buildings they develop.

“Our stores need to reflect the needs of the customer and adapt and, if required, change to meet their needs. Critical aspects of our supermarkets such as car parks, aisles, lighting and refrigeration need to be tailored to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers. A business that truly places these needs at its heart is the one that will have true success into the future.”

As well as the work already underway, Foodstuffs North Island is planning a major overhaul of New World Papatoetoe, in south Auckland, with a resource consent application already lodged with Auckland Council. Work is due to start by winter 2017.

Meanwhile, in the South Island, three new stores are currently being built: New World Ferry Road, in east Christchurch; PAK’nSAVE Queenstown; and Four Square West Melton, west of Christchurch.

Foodstuffs (South Island) Ltd General Manager Property and Retail Development Roger Davidson says all three are due to open in spring.

“At one end of the scale is PAK’nSAVE Queenstown,” he says, “which will cover about 5500 square metres and bring New Zealand’s lowest food prices to the Queenstown-Lakes District for the first time. At the other end is Four Square West Melton, which promises to give locals greater shopping convenience.”

Five other southern stores are being refurbished: New World Halswell in south Christchurch; New World Lincoln; New World Elles Road, in Invercargill; New World Alexandra; and PAK’nSAVE Timaru.

“Overall, it amounts to a massive work programme for us,” Davidson says, “and a sign of our long-term commitment to the communities we serve.”

Newly constructed stores and those undergoing major refurbishments will all be kitted out with the latest in environmentally sustainable lighting, refrigeration and waste recycling systems.

As for the number of jobs that will be created nationwide, a figure is yet to be confirmed. But with three stores being completely new builds – PAK’nSAVE Tauriko, PAK’nSAVE Queenstown; and Four Square West Melton, west of Christchurch – at least 300-400 jobs are likely to be created.

“Part of the investment in our communities is the training and career advancement opportunities we offer our staff,” says Davidson. “We’re currently directing our spending to bricks and mortar, but once the stores are completed our owners focus moves onto ensuring they have the best people on the ground to meet our customer needs – training and development forms a strong part of this.”
