Fashion retailer appoints Four & Co for UK expansion

Retail and leisure-focused agency Four & Co has been appointed by clothing brand Scamp & Dude to identify sites for its UK expansion. The agency is looking across the country, with a target of opening around 10 new stores each year. Scamp & Dude wants sites of approximately 1,800 sq ft, ideally ground floor, with dedicated sales areas of about 1,000 sq ft. The brand is targeting city centres, affluent market towns, premium shopping centres and tourist hotspots. Scamp & Dude already has stores in Battersea, Marlow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Cambridge, and one in Brighton that opens in mid-October. Four & Co partner Adam Cohen said: “Our relationship has already helped the brand secure prime retail spaces and improve terms on existing properties. We are excited to support Scamp & Dude’s ambitious expansion plans across the UK, ensuring they find the perfect locations that align with their brand values and community-focused ethos.” Jo Tutchener Sharp, chief executive and founder of Scamp & Dude, said: “The success of our existing shops has highlighted the importance of a physical retail presence in strengthening the connection within our Scamp & Dude community. The appointment of Four & Co to assist our growth underlines our commitment to expanding our presence across the UK, with the goal of having a store within 90 minutes of each of our customers. “As we continue to grow, we are also evaluating potential international markets for future expansion”.
