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?

They will never open in Glasgow thats for sure. I doubt they would do well tbh but then you never know!

They used to have a shop in Reading (The Oracle) it was just there for a summer a few years ago. I think it was an outlet type place to try and sell of previous season's clothes.

I very much doubt they would open in Barnsley

Just on the high street in Marlow there is The White Co., Fat Face, White Stuff, Cath Kidson, Crew, Whistles,Jigsaw, Phase Eight, Mint Velvet and Pure Collection.
Probably more but I can't think of more high street names,.
Not sure they need a Boden...

Already on page 2 and no Cirencester??

That's because Marlow is posh innit?

...no Windsor mentioned either

North Norfolk for sure. Holt probs. (You can't get further than Fakenham without a black lab and a ditzy swing skirt.)

Every time someone on here links to Boden I am strangely unexcited by the clothes and their £££££ prices.

Me too!

Could Glasgow have Boden in that new(ish) shopping centre near Buchanan Street?

Or does it have to be on street?

Bluewater maybe?

Didsbury, Manchester
Knutsford, Cheshire
I agree with Marlborough
Malmesbury, although the high street is tiny and mostly independents rather than chains si they'll be off to the one in Cirencester
York?

It was Walton On Thames where they had a shop a few years back but it's been gone awhile now. Was great though.

Agree with mrsrhodgilbert - I work in Harrogate and it would sit seamlessly amongst the other stores here.
I haven't ever bought anything there though so won't benefit too much!

Harrogate has all the same shops as Marlow, apart from Pure, although ironically it is distributed from here. It's a very Boden town.

The posh bit in St Albans probably

The world is full of posh places I've never been to :)

York, that's a shoo in. Padstow, ditto.

I've never heard of Fakenham!

Every middle class woman ( and her children) in this town wear Boden, pretty well most of the time. Bet it would no longer be exclusive enough if it actually became a shop though!

I wouldn't even be able to recognise Boden clothes anyway. I have looked at their website and they seem unremarkable and don't stand out, so how is it that they seem instantly recognisable to many of you?

cathedral towns

BATH is a dead cert.

i think NO to marlborough.
Too small

Wouldnt it be funny i they went and opened stores in really unlikely places

Castle Vale
Trowbridge
Batley

Etc

The problem with the Surrey store was that it was in Walton on Thames which is not your typical naice Surrey shopping destination. Guildford would be ideal

Boden clothes are already ubiquitous enough nowadays. Bringing Boden to the high street would kill it for me and many others.

Thay are very distinctive and recognisable, especially if you've shopped there for years. I think it would cheapen the brand, no matter which 'exclusive' locations they chose.
