Gentian supports Sostrene Grene new store opening in Winchester

August 8, 2025

It was great to attend the Sostrene Grene store opening this morning at our property at 7 High Street in Winchester. Back in June we signed a new ten-year lease with the Danish retailer to bring the store to the city.

Our Planning Director, Aiden Murray met with the store team to show Gentian's support and wish the team well.

Aiden Murray said: "We're really pleased to have let the ground floor of our property at 7 High Street to Sostrene Grene. The shop looks amazing, and we are sure that they will do very well in Winchester. They're a great addition to the current retail offering of the city and it is really positive to see so many shoppers out today."

Charlene Woodward, Head of Operations at Sostrene Grene said: "We are absolutely delighted to open Sostrene Grene in the beautiful and historic city of Winchester today. It is a true joy to bring our unique universe of Scandinavian design to such a vibrant community. We're proud to be creating new local jobs and becoming part of the city's thriving high street. We received an incredible welcome this morning with over 200 customers joining us for the opening - one of our highest turnovers to date. It is clear that Winchester is eager to experience the wonderful world of Anna and Clara."

Whilst at the store Aiden also took the opportunity to pick up some great products to brighten up our Winchester office!
