A premium fashion and lifestyle brand renowned for its luxury activewear is set to open in Leeds.
That’s right, Alo is coming to Leeds.
Founded in Los Angeles back in 2007, and making a splash on social media and growing in popularity ever since, Alo is a favourite among wellness enthusiasts and celebrities alike thanks to offering a curated collection of elevated performance and lifestyle apparel for all genders, aiming to blend the best of technical excellence with contemporary fashion.
Designed to inspire ‘mindful movement’ and ‘modern living’, the brand has a strong commitment to mind-body wellness, and even likes to call its stores sanctuaries.
Alo already has a selection of stores in London, and after announcing their move to Manchester in May this will be their second store outside of London.
And of course they’ve chosen to set up shop in Leeds’ iconic Victoria Quarter, where else?
Alo’s application suggests it will be moving into the unit that previously housed Ted Baker, which spans across three floors.
The application says: “The existing front staircase will have new floor finishes and nosing, along with a new balustrade and handrail. The emergency escape staircase will also receive a new vinyl floor finish, while the existing handrail will be retained and repaired as needed.
“The first floor is only accessible through the existing stairway, which will be kept in units 23-25. Although there is no lift provided, Alo Yoga has ensured an accessible unisex fitting room on the ground floor.
“The retail offerings will be duplicated on both floors, meaning that customers with mobility issues who cannot use the staircase will not be at a disadvantage. Customer service is a priority for Alo Yoga, and all staff will be trained to assist customers in finding the right products.”
