Homeware retailer the White Company is nearly doubling the size of its store at a shopping centre.

The home and bedroom furniture seller aims to launch its revamped Bluewater site in time for the spring.

The 5,881sq ft shop – next to Hobbs, Russell & Bromley and Michael Kors – will combine its homeware, beauty and women’s fashion products with its the Little White Company childrenswear, which currently has a separate store.

"The upsized flagship from The White Company is the latest example of this.

“The new store will embody everything the brand stands for and will be a significant addition to Bluewater’s own unique day-out experience.”

Sarah King, director of property at the White Company, added: “Bluewater has long been a top-performing location for The White Company.

“Land Securities has worked closely with us to create a bespoke space that allows us to give Bluewater’s guests a true encapsulation of The White Company brand as a whole.”

The announcement follows a very strong Christmas performance for Bluewater, with average retail spend per visit reaching £191.

It was the highest level recorded by any retail and leisure destination in the UK according to research by consultancy CACI.
