The brand states: “The sportswear market has forever been dominated by a small clique of mass-market brands. However, Castore’s vision is to be a premium alternative to its competitors.”

The firm will join other newcomers on the upper Avenue - often seen as the posh end of the megamall - including women’s sportswear Sweaty Betty, Zara clothes and Polestar electric cars. A combined Sports Direct and Frasers will open in the old Debenhams at the end of the mall in autumn.
