Harvey Nicks for Liverpool ONE

Another major new name for Liverpool, as Harvey Nicks is heading to town.

We were a little sniffy when Harvey Nicks opened its pop up food shop in the Liverpool ONE arcade before Christmas. We didn’t like the idea of them having a smash and grab raid, taking pennies from those who’d committed to establishing a permanent foothold in the city.

We were wrong. Seems this was just the first toe in the water, a tentative Christmas kiss before a more lasting embrace, as Harvey Nichols has confirmed it’s to open a permanent store in the city.

The new shop will be in the old Habitat store - and will be a new concept for the high end Kensington stalwart: a small format store, covering all 22,000 sq feet of the former home furnishing stores.

It’s another coup for Liverpool ONE, which has seen occupancy rates buck the national trend, and head towards 98%, and sales up 10% year on year.

The store is set to open in Autumn. So, with the return of AbFab, and Harvey Nicks’ arrival, it’s like the 90′s never went away. What did we do with our Lacroix, sweetie?

Liverpool like Newcastle are two cities that have risen like phoenix from the flames after the disastrous Thatcher policies. Unfortunately many communities nearby both have never recovered

More shopping, more consumption, less variety and room for small independent shops elsewhere in town. When will we have enough? When we're bankrupt.....

Paul Jones

Let's hope they don't allow 'people' in in their pyjamas or with rollers in.

Tracey Spurgin

WOW can't wait another reason to get to Liverpool as much as poss.

Clare Wilson

Haha we will try our best x

I've only been there once but I thought the streets looked really nice & there was a great mix of shops.

I never woulda predicted Liverpool One would be successful but it's great that it is. Somehow they just got it right. Hats off to whoever was the key architect. Seem to spend more & more time there myself. If you like red wine be sure to give Lunya a try and of course the food's darn good too :-)

Paul Dolphin

I work on that lane, heard its gonna be cosmetics & other stuff as opposed to clothing like the other stores.

Sevenstreets

you wanna get in there, nook and willow!

Sevenstreets

not so sure. Depends what they stock. The Manc store is too big, and would never work here. But a trimmed down version might just pull it off. Key is for them to stock home-designed goodies, which they have a habit of doing. Let's see...

Robert Larkin

i liked their little food shop because it had a lot of stuff that you can't really get anywhere else (mostly sweets and sauces) but opening a full on store in liverpool one seems like a shit business move.
