Fashion, homeware, gifts and furniture retailer Oliver Bonas has confirmed plans to open a larger store in Brighton.

Situated on North Street, the retailer has taken the former Habitat space, which has been vacant since the furniture business exited the location back in June last year.

Oliver Bonas has signed a 10-year lease at the premises, just four doors down from its existing store, with the new site covering a larger space of 6,000sqft over two floors.

The new store is more than double the size of its current location and is expected to open later this summer.
