Kiko Milano to open new store in Angel Central

Italian cosmetics brand Kiko Milano is set to open a new store in Islington’s retail destination Angel Central as part of the brand’s expansion plans across the UK. Kiko Milano will open an 818 sq ft unit at Angel Central later this month, adjacent to brands such as Rituals and MUJI, enhancing the beauty and skincare offer within the centre. It will stock the brand’s full product range, as well as offer in-store makeup services, delivering an experiential element for visitors. The store, which marks the brand’s fourth location in London, will be designed by Iosa Ghini and will feature the brand’s staple concept city format. This announcement comes as Angel Central celebrated a strong trading period throughout 2023 with a sales increase of 16% compared with 2022, and footfall up 6.4% compared to the national average in 2022. Recent additions to the destination include shoe retailer Office and Northwood, as well as an enhanced store for long-standing tenant, Accessorize, and a full-scale refurbishment for VUE cinema, joining anchor stores UNIQLO and H&M. Paul Devin, country director of the UK and Ireland at Kiko Milano, said: “As we continue our rapid expansion plans across the UK, our new store at Angel Central will mark a significant milestone for us. Islington has always been on our radar, and with Angel Central’s dedication to the community and its collaborative relationships with tenants, we are excited to be part of a thriving destination.” Louisa Butters, head of retail asset management UK at CBRE Investment Management, said: “Kiko Milano is a fantastic brand to add to our retail mix and responds to visitor appetite for more beauty and skincare which you can’t find anywhere else in the surrounding area. “We are constantly looking at how we can elevate the centre to deliver even more for consumers, and extending our beauty offer is key to our overarching vision. We look forward to welcoming Kiko to the scheme next month, with many other exciting openings on the horizon for this year.”
