Boden: coming to a high street near you!

[MorrisZapp]

I read the financial pages so you don't have to :)

Yesterday's Guardian reports that Boden are in a massive upswing just now, with profits ever rising.

They have plans to open high street stores in the UK as part of their expansion but are currently v tight lipped about location.

I'm in Edinburgh and I'm pretty certain they'll open here. Anybody else living in a Bodentastic town? Streets paved with ditsy print etc?

St Andrews would be another sure thing. It already has Fatface, White Stuff, Joules, Jack Willis ...

Durham, Chester, Henley on Thames, Kingston, Richmond, York. These would be my first guesses. I'm a big Boden fan but this might be the end of it for me as it's already a bit "all over the place"!

My town would be perfect for a Boden but is a very small town, although we do have a fat face and joules. Among independant boutiques.

I can imagine a Boden in Winchester Dancing!

They are doing consultations in Sydney with customers about expansion there too.

It'd go down very nicely in Tunbridge Wells, I would think. (It would have me as a customer anyway, to start it off ) I love Boden, but generally wait for a discount as so expensive.

Agree with York but actually think Harrogate would be perfect for a northern outpost.

There is a shop in Hangar Green in London,I've been there when visiting. It is certainly handy to try everything on in store.
I hope one comes to NI!

Very much doubt they will open one in Huddersfield!!
I wish they would though because about 50% of my Boden clothes consists of stuff I don't like but couldn't be arsed send back

Marlborough. It'll fit right in

Brancaster and/or Burnham Market.

Southwold.

Exeter.

Northcote Road SW11

Didn't they have a store somewhere in Surrey that closed down not long ago? That would seem to be their ideal territory. Surprised that they are thinking of opening stores, having closed that one down.

I got an email about 3 months ago, saying that their head designer wanted to meet regular customers who live in Richmond upon Thames (I do). I couldn't do the times/dates they suggested but that might be one of the places they're considering. Richmond/Kingston are both Boden-tastic.

Nyborg we're right smack between Richmond and Kingston and yes, the entire area is a Boden fest.

I would buy more if I could see it and feel it before trying it on. The Surrey shop needed a visit just for Boden and I think that's,why it didn't work. I always meant to go but it wasn't en-route to anything. Guildford/Richmond could work - Kingston might have too much of everything already.

I'm near Chester and have often thought whilst walking down a certain street that all it needs is Boden to complete the set (it has Joules and White Stuff and there used to be a Fat Face that has now been replaced by Seasalt )

See loads of Boden walking around too

They should go into John Lewis surely?

Boden & Johnny Lulu a match made in heaven.

They'd better not open in Glasgow. It would lower the tone.

Byres Road is already in disgrace for having a Fat Face and some kind of country casuals shop.

Therevwould have to be one in Harpenden or St Albans. Possibly Hitchin.

I wonder how much production will have to increase to keep up with the demands of mail order, online, and physical shops. Certain items/colours sometimes run out of stock quickly, and it is a pain in the arse when that happens. I hope Leeds get a store!

Definitely Reigate or Dorking.

North Cornwall - Rock or Padstow. I think you, and your children of course, have to wear Boden before you're allowed to holiday there. They already have a fat face, white stuff, sea salt, crew and joules.

Agree with Winchester too. Love Winchester for a shopping trip!

Padstow and Salcombe for sure!

Bath, Winchester, Henley on Thames, Salcombe, York.... are my first guesses...

Cheltenham perhaps?
