A fresh, new look for River Island at centre:mk

28 September, 2026
River Island has unveiled its first store featuring its fresh new fitout at centre:mk in Milton Keynes, following a successful lease renewal we advised on which paved the way for this striking store transformation.

The result is a completely refreshed customer experience, with a new River-Runway installation, dedicated denim department, interactive fitting rooms and self-scanning checkouts – bringing the brand’s latest store concept to life for the first time ahead of a wider UK rollout.

For centre:mk, it’s another great example of the value of working with established retail partners to support their long-term growth plans and encourage continued reinvestment into the destination.

The River Island refit comes hot on the heels of the relocation and upsizing of Sunglass Hut and the opening of Lindt’s new boutique, but there’s still plenty more exciting newness to come as we head into Q4!

To find out about future opportunities to take space at centre:mk, get in touch with the FMX Urban Property Advisers team - Nick Symons, David Justice and Filippa Mudd - or our joint agents at Time Retail.
