Forget Tiger Tiger Thursdays and a massive Primark, there’s new reason to be proud of being from Croydon, with Boxpark today announcing its forthcoming residency in the South London borough. The infamous shipping containers will arrive in mass, with 80 units set to open, focussing on small independent retailers with a covered courtyard to home Boxpark’s traditional year-round events.
A BOXPARK Marketplace will allow customers to physically shop for products in stores, as well as purchase and share items online and on their mobile.
Boxpark’s founder and CEO Roger Wade said:
“Croydon is one of the last London boroughs to be developed. Stratford, White City and Nine Elms have all seen recent new developments. I want everyone to re-think their view of Croydon. It’s the home of Kate Moss, Tracey Emin, and now Boxpark!”
When?
Early 2016
Where?
Ruskin Square, Croydon – Next to East Croydon train station – CR0 1LF
