Canary Wharf Group today announces that it has exchanged contracts with L’Occitane en Provence to open a 692 sq ft outlet in Jubilee Place. Jubilee Place became the latest retail mall at Canary Wharf when it opened in September bringing the total number of retail units close to 200.

This will be the 16th L’Occitane stand alone store in the UK and will open in late November following recent openings in Glasgow and Edinburgh, bringing the total number of new UK stores opened in the last 12 months to six. These new store openings follow L'Occitane's policy of re-creating its unique store concepts at only A1 sites in the best retail locations in the UK.

Kit Braden, L’Occitane Managing Director, said: “We are thrilled to be opening our 16th UK store in Jubilee Place. Canary Wharf is such a key London business and media hub, we are confident the store will deliver great successes and growth for the brand.”

Camille Waxer, VP Retail Leasing for Canary Wharf Group, said: “L’Occitane is a unique brand for both men and women, with products ranging from personal care lines to home fragrances. I think there is a definite niche at Canary Wharf for this retailer and look forward to welcoming them to our retail mix.”
