The Brief

Foot Locker is an internationally renowned brand with 2500 stores worldwide & 74 stores in the UK.  Brasier Freeth was first appointed by the global sportswear retailer in January 2011 to help them with their property search in new priority locations.

The Journey

Our first deal came in June 2011 with the opening of a new store in Liverpool.  This was followed by an urgent relocation in Croydon. Since these early instructions, Brasier Freeth has acquired a number of new stores for our client in prime locations including Leeds Metro Centre, Brent Cross, Bull Ring and Lakeside. We were also responsible for the acquisition of the first Kids Foot Locker store in the UK in Westfield, Stratford. Following the success of this store, we secured the second store for Foot Locker Kids in Manchester. Going forward, we continue to search for potential stores for our client in all major retail destinations across the UK.

In addition to our Agency role, Brasier Freeth now looks after all the Foot Locker property work in the UK including disposals, re-gears, relocations, professional lease advisory work, building surveying and consultancy.

The Results

With Brasier Freeth as their retained retail agents, our client benefits from a personalised service from a partner within the Practice who is on hand to work with their team to support their growth plans.
