Irish athleisure brand Gym+Coffee continues its expansion in the UK with the opening of a fourth Clubhouse
Ireland’s leading athleisure brand and global community, Gym+Coffee, has announced the opening of a new Clubhouse location in Liverpool’s Liverpool ONE shopping centre. Opening its doors on September 18th, the store is the latest of four new Clubhouse locations in the last year, after openings in Belfast, London and Manchester, as the brand continues to increase its presence with retail spaces in the UK.
The 1579-square-foot store features the brand’s iconic Clubhouse look including an interactive corner with half-table ping-pong. The opening will also create up to 15 jobs in the area which is part of the brand’s wider plans to double its staff across the company’s HQ and retail stores by the end of 2021.
This expansion follows the announcement earlier this year of International superstar and Irish national Niall Horan investing in Gym+Coffee, and helping to raise the profile of the brand across the UK and beyond.
Gym+Coffee’s Liverpool store will draw in sustainable solutions that includes the use of mannequins made from recycled plastic. Like other stores, the brand will also offer customers a carrier bag made from 100% recycled materials. Manufactured by Waste2Wear, the ‘I Used to be a Fridge’ bags are made using recycled polypropylene fabric that is originally from a fridge. The initiative is part of Gym+Coffee’s efforts towards becoming a sustainable business along with the company’s other initiatives including it’s One Tree Planted partnership.
Co-Founder Diarmuid McSweeney said: “We are thrilled to announce the opening of a new Gym+Coffee Clubhouse in another fantastic city. With a large community base already in Liverpool it’s great that we can now accommodate this demand in the city and its surrounding areas. As with all our Clubhouses we hope it will not only be a place to shop but a welcoming space that provides the community somewhere to meet and openly socialise and help contribute our ambition to Make Life Richer. The added integration of sustainable elements within the store like our recycled plastic mannequins is also the beginning of a long journey in the company’s goal to create a wholly sustainable business that seriously considers its impact on our environment.”
Gym+Coffee in partnership with Mongoose, launched the store to raise awareness of the brand and build on its global community in Europe.
The store will offer a full range of Gym+Coffee athleisure including sustainable garments made from 100% recycled polyester and the latest Autumn/Winter 2021 gear. For more information visit uk.gympluscoffee.com.
