KENJI takes centre stage at centre:mk for regional debut

centre:mk, one of the UK’s top 10 prime regional destinations, has announced that KENJI has signed to launch its regional debut at the centre. This signing reflects leading brands’ continued confidence in centre:mk and further cements its position as the go-to retail destination in the region. 

KENJI is set to occupy a 5,541 sq ft unit on Silbury Arcade adjacent to Chaiiwala and opposite Starbucks. The East Asian-inspired store will offer a wide range of toys, homeware, stationery, and snacks, immersing visitors in the KENJI universe. The brand exemplifies the growing trend towards compelling, experience-led retail and positions centre:mk at the forefront of this industry-wide shift.

Kevin Duffy, centre:mk’s Centre Director, commented: “Welcoming another regional debut with KENJI reflects the continued strength and pull of centre:mk. Our ability to attract leading retailers demonstrates not only our consistent performance but also centre:mk’s leading status as a prime retail hub. We remain focused on delivering an exceptional experience for our guests and providing an environment where positive, experience-led retail can thrive.”

Eddie Shepherd, KENJI’S Managing Director, said: “Our new store in centre:mk represents an important step in our continued expansion into the UK’s premier retail locations. The centre’s strong retail mix, loyal customer base, and commitment to delivering quality experiences aligns perfectly with our ambition to being the KENJI brand to destinations that share our focus on innovation, quality and customer engagement.”

This announcement follows a flurry of activity across the centre, including the signing of luxury chocolate drinks brand Knoops, which will join centre:mk’s thriving F&B line-up alongside Hotel Chocolat and H beauty Champagne Bar.
