Zakti Ltd seems to have been set up a few months ago as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mountain Warehouse - they have no web site and this would be the first store. This is possibly a reaction to the opening of Cotswold up the road. Although the site chosen by their competitor has a much lower footfall my partner tells me that Cotswold have a much better reputation for quality than Mountain Warehouse. A large proportion of spending in a place like Chiswick would be Duke of Edinburgh scheme related and the DofE seems to officially endorse Cotswold but not Mountain Warehouse. Taking on a big site on Chiswick High Road with the ridiculous rent would probably be a bit of a risk even for a company like Mountain Warehouse so it could be they decided on a quick rebrand with more focus on indoor leisure wear than their normal store. It may be that a lot of the stock is still outdoor wear - we'll find out soon. |
