Spanish jewellery and accessories retailer Tous is to make its UK debut on London’s Regent Street in October.

Tous – which boasts global fashion icon Kylie Minogue as the face of its 2008 international ad campaign – will open in the former Principles store on Regent Street near Oxford Circus.

The retailer will also open a store at the Westfield London scheme at White City and is understood to be considering a concession in Selfridges’ Oxford Street store.

Tous is one of several Spanish retailers to open on Regent Street in the past year, including Desigual and Hoss Intropia.

The retailer, which was advised by property agent CB Richard Ellis, has ambitious plans for the UK. It wants 20 to 30 stores over the next three years, initially in central London, but then moving to other key UK cities such as Manchester and Liverpool.

The retailer is taking on the accessories and jewellery offers of retailers such as Jigsaw and Italian brand Furlow, which have similar price points.

Tous was founded in 1920 and began its international expansion in the early 1990s. It now has a portfolio of more than 350 stores in 36 countries.

Meanwhile, Canada’s largest golf retailer Golf Town is scouting for potential sites to make its UK debut.

The retailer is believed to be close to landing its first stores in the UK after nearly two years of searching.

The move is the retailer’s first outside its native Canada. It is not yet clear what size stores Golf Town is searching for, but in Canada it sells from big-box units of about 20,000 sq ft.

Golf Town was set up in 1999 and has 36 stores in Canada. CB Richard Ellis has been appointed to search for its first sites.
