Over the next three years, we’ll be working with Westminster City Council to help shape the future of one of the most high-profile retail streets in the world: Oxford Street. We’ll be putting super prime, rent-free stores into the hands of the very best emerging startups and creatives; tackling the spread of low-quality candy shops, and injecting life and vibrancy back into the nation’s high street.
-
Stores will all be all based in prime Oxford Street locations, available for approximately six months each and 100% rent-free. Winning brands may be given single occupancy or invited to join a curated concept store shared between like-minded brands.
All brands will also benefit from the following:
Stores fully white-boxed
Minimum 70% discount on business rates
Full support and mentoring from Someday Studios and Westminster City Council
Design support from expert store design partners
Marketing and PR support
-
We’re looking to find the very best emerging brands, entrepreneurs, creatives or inventors who can help to shape Oxford Street’s future for the better.
Specifically, those that:
Are looking to launch a physical space
Can offer something unique to Oxford Street’s audience in terms of product, experience or concept
Have the potential to launch a long-term store independently after developing their brand through the project
Have sufficient capital to cover the project costs and to sustain the rest of their business whilst running a store for six months
Have sufficient resources to run a six-month store on one of the world’s busiest streets: including staff, stock, promotion and general execution
Care about sustainability and can demonstrate how it plays a part in their business
This project is not intended to support established retailers who would otherwise be able to operate a store in Central London without the support of this programme.
-
Westminster City Council have launched an open call for the nation’s best emerging brands to apply to the project.
CLICK HERE to apply or contact us if you have any questions.
More information on the mechanics of the project (including a full breakdown of costs) can be found in the Brand Guide.
-
We’re leading on end-to-end project management, from strategy & planning through to curation, management of design & build, marketing & PR, and ongoing mentoring.
We’re set to launch our first concept store in Autumn, working with a design agency who have delivered stores for the likes of Fortnum and Mason, Liberty, Harrods, Selfridges, Charlotte Tilbury and Balenciaga.
