Liverpool ONE is announcing four new lettings totalling 13,000 sq ft in South John Street in a combination of relocations and new tenants.
MINISO, Bath & Body Works and Boux Avenue are to open in adjacent units in what was the former Victoria’s Secret store. Victoria’s Secret is relocating and reinvesting in the destination.
Lifestyle brand MINISO has taken a 3,000 sq ft site to make its Liverpool debut. The store will stock the brand’s selection of ‘blind boxes’, collectables, plushies, beauty products, and snacks.
Personal care brand, Bath & Body Works, is to make its city debut in Liverpool ONE early next year in a 3,000 sq ft unit. The store will stock a selection of personal care products, candles, and seasonal collections.
Longstanding Liverpool ONE brand, Boux Avenue, is returning to South John Street from its temporary home on Peter’s Lane, having relocated to accommodate Zara’s upsize.
This 3,000 sq ft space will showcase the brand’s full range of lingerie, nightwear, loungewear, sportswear, dresses, and swimwear.
Marking one of Victoria’s Secret’s first new concept stores in its nationwide rollout, the brand has launched its new 4,000 sq ft outlet. It will offer its collection of lingerie, sleepwear, swimwear and athleisure, alongside a collection of fragrances and body care.
Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Liverpool ONE operator, Grosvenor, said: “We enhance Liverpool ONE’s appeal by constantly considering our tenant mix.
“To achieve this, we need both a close working relationship with brands and a deep understanding of our consumers.”

Both brands are due to open in spring next year, followed by Uniqlo’s 25,000 sq ft flagship launch in Paradise Street.
