UK's biggest bridal store to open in Wakefield next month
Set across four floors in a renovated Navigation Warehouse mill, the store is thought to be the first of its kind and size in the UK, reported TheBusinessDesk.com
It will showcase around 300 wedding dresses at any one time from brands including Pronovias, Justin Alexander, Wona Concept, Allure Bridals and Dotty Bridal's own brand, Nori Ivy. It will also include the retail brand's dedicated mother-of-the-bride line, MOB.
The store will also feature an accessory lounge and a café/bar.
Founded in 2015 in Huddersfield by entrepreneur Shannon Martin with a £10,000 business loan, the retailer recorded turnover of £1.5 million in its last financial year.
Martin said: 'We haven't seen a store anywhere else in the country that is anything like what we'll be offering; a space where our brides can find everything they need to look and feel their best on their wedding day, in one place.
'Dotty has grown exponentially, and we now help more than 1,000 brides every year find their dream wedding dress – including many who travel from far afield because they want the level of service and expertise our team has worked hard to become known for.
'Our Wakefield flagship will mean we continue paving the way and setting the standard in the bridal industry.'
