FRESH FACES AND NEW STORES THIS SUMMER AT THE MALL, WOOD GREEN

The Mall Wood Green’s retail community is buzzing with the addition of eight new stores – Churros Buenos, Candy Galore, Chaiiwala, Momos, Shoeaholics, Kids Heaven, Addax and Brillen. The shopping centre will also be welcoming Sizzle and Stone and Therapie Clinic over the coming weeks.

Chaiiwala, the home of chai (Indian-style spiced tea) and desi street food, opened in February and has already proved a massive hit with shoppers. “With 52 stores nationwide, it’s a growing chain and one that we felt would work well at Wood Green,” says Marketing Manager, Catriona Baillie.

Food is always high on the agenda at The Mall Wood Green, which has a thriving food court. To enhance its food offering further, the shopping centre has recently welcomed Korean street food provider, Momos, as well as a brand-new Churros Buenos kiosk, and Candy Galore – an American candy retailer taking up a new home in the Market Hall. To add to the excitement, they will soon be adding pizza and churro specialists, Sizzle and Stone.

Catriona explained: “We know how much our local community loves grabbing a bite to eat while they’re shopping, and we’re thrilled to be extending our offering with these two new, independent eateries.”

For Momos owner, Adam Ullah, The Mall Wood Green proved the ideal location for its first branch. “The shopping centre ticked all our boxes and was perfect for our concept design and branding. Not only is The Mall ideally placed in the heart of North London, but it offers a diverse, multicultural customer base and is always busy. It also has a wonderfully supportive management team, which is a huge advantage.”

Shoppers searching for gorgeous kids’ clothing will be delighted by the recent arrival of Kids Heaven, while shoe addicts will be able to access hundreds of designer brands from Veja and Birkenstock to UGG Australia and Kurt Geiger London at the new Shoeaholics store. And on the fashion front, clothing brand Addax opened at The Mall this month with an amazing range of stylish wardrobe staples.

Guests on the hunt for custom-made, premium glasses at affordable prices, need look no further, as optician Brillen has just opened its new store at The Mall. The German eyewear retailer launched in the UK in 2020 and has over 40 stores across the country.

“It feels fantastic to be attracting so many new stores and developing the Wood Green family of retailers,” added Catriona. “The shopping centre is thriving, which is great for our local community. We know what our customers want and are delighted to be able to offer it. Therapie Clinic will also be coming to the centre soon, allowing us to build a strong beauty base.”
