INDEPENDENT footwear retailer, Charles Clinkard, has invested £200,000 in a major refurbishment of its Ilkley store.
The 2,065 sq ft store located in The Grove, which currently employs 12 full-time and part-time employees, has reopened its doors to Ilkley customers following a four-week makeover, revealing a brand new shop fit and shopfloor interior that is now more accessible and helps to better showcase the store’s unique features including being open to customers through the front and back doorways.
The new modern makeover comes as Charles Clinkard continues to invest in the high street and its retail experience in-store. The store features women’s and men’s departments, as well as the recently added children’s area, and is home to popular brands of footwear and accessories, featuring brands such as Gabor, Rieker, Skechers, Clarks, Loake and Birkenstock.
Tim Payne, Managing Director of Retail at Charles Clinkard, said: “We are really excited to reveal our new look to our Ilkley customers. We have great confidence in the high street and how we see this growing again in 2023 and the team is hopeful that this significant investment has improved the shop's look and feel and will also help increase footfall and turnover. All of us at Charles Clinkard look forward to welcoming old and new customers into our Ilkley store and hope they enjoy the refurbishment as much as we do.”
