New Look to return to new unit in Morfa Shopping Park months after leaving

New look is set to return to Swansea's Morfa Shopping Park just months after leaving. The high street retailer closed its doors to customers in February 2022 when the unit was taken over by River Island, who opened their new concept store, River Island Marketplace, at the start of May.

At the time, a New Look spokesperson said that the decision to close the store was not theirs and was due to the landlord exiting the lease early. The new New Look will be opening just a couple of units down, in the old Outfit store. You can get Swansea stories straight to your inbox with our newsletter.

According to the New Look website, the new store will open on June 1, just in time for the bank holiday weekend. The store sells a range of men's, women's and kids' clothing and accessories including tops, trousers, swimwear, jackets and coats, hoodies and sweatshirts, flip flops, hats, gloves, towels, socks and bags.

The Outfit unit has remained empty since Arcadia, the group in charge of Topshop, Burton, Miss Selfridge, Wallis and Dorothy Perkins, announced it would be permanently closing another 31 UK stores in January 2021. The fashion group, owned by Sir Philip Green, collapsed into administration at the start of December 2020 after it became the latest company impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

The only unit left vacant now in the shopping park is Frankie & Benny's, which is yet to be replaced. New Look have been contacted for comment.
