Sainsbury’s Selly Oak will be a brand new store when it opens later this year. The two Oasis concessions have been carefully selected to be in supermarkets where Tu clothing performs particularly strongly and in the case of Selly Oak, its new flagship store, with complementary ranges helping to make Sainsbury’s a fashion destination. Sainsbury’s is the sixth largest clothing retailer by volume and clothing now accounts for £1 billion of the retailer’s sales. It is available to customers in 437 Sainsbury’s supermarkets, via the Tu website and also on the hugely popular Argos website.
"We are delighted to be welcoming Oasis to Sainsbury’s stores. Its on-trend fashion ranges will complement our high quality Tu clothing offer and support our strategy to make our stores leading fashion destinations. The initial trial will see two stores open in time for Christmas which is brilliant news for those looking for a party outfit or a special gift," Sainsbury’s director of commercial, James Brown said.
"Trialling Oasis in Sainsbury’s is an exciting development for us. This is about presenting the Oasis product proposition and brand experience to Sainsbury’s customers. The customer demographic of both brands is very similar and therefore it is a natural strategic partnership. We are looking forward to opening two stores before Christmas and another three early next year and presenting our brand to new customers," CEO Designate of Oasis, Hash Ladha said. (RR)
