Clarks Village in Somerset is undergoing a dynamic retail transformation with the addition of two prominent brands, further elevating its shopping experience. On Thursday, May 9, Sunglass Hut unveiled its expanded 944-square-metre store in Apple Court, relocating from Central Square Gardens to a more central and spacious location. Positioned next to the newly updated Osprey outlet and opposite Calvin Klein, the retailer continues to offer shoppers premium sunglasses from renowned labels such as Ray-Ban, Oakley, Dolce & Gabbana, and Prada—all at discounted prices.
Joining Sunglass Hut in Apple Court is The North Face, which opened a new, expansive 2,895-square-metre store adjacent to Wagamama. This store features an extensive collection of outdoor apparel, footwear, equipment, and accessories, catering to adventurous shoppers and outdoor enthusiasts.
These openings represent key milestones in Clarks Village’s ongoing retail refresh. Recent additions also include Suit Direct, Raging Bull, and Osprey, with several more high-profile brands set to debut ahead of the summer season.
