British menswear brand Charles Tyrwhitt will open its first ever store in Wales, located in the heart of Cardiff at St David’s Shopping Centre. The new store officially opens its doors on Sunday, 23rd November 2025, marking an exciting new chapter for the brand’s growing UK retail footprint, bringing the total number of stores in the UK to 44 and 59 globally (excluding third-party stockists).
This opening marks a strategic milestone for the brand. With a strong existing customer base in Cardiff, Charles Tyrwhitt’s decision to open in the city allows shoppers to experience the brand in person for the first time. The new store will build on this loyal following by offering a more complete brand experience, while also welcoming first time customers to discover what makes Tyrwhitt truly timeless.
Spanning 2,676 sq ft gross (2,020 sq ft trading), the new Cardiff store has been designed to reflect Charles Tyrwhitt’s commitment to “Making it Easy for Men to Dress Well.” Situated on the ground floor of St David’s, in one of the centre’s highest footfall areas, the store combines timeless design with an inviting and elevated shopping experience.
The store features enhanced spaces for customers to relax and explore, encouraging customers to take their time while exploring the collections. It also includes Charles Tyrwhitt’s first dedicated appointment space outside of London, offering shoppers a more personalised experience. Guests can enjoy refreshments while receiving one-to-one styling advice or fit consultations, creating a truly bespoke shopping journey.
Charles Tyrwhitt Founder, Nick Wheeler, comments: “My mother was born just down the road in Newport, Gwent. I spent summers there with Granny Lillian on Glasllwch Lane, and also with Granny Jo who had settled in Newport, Pembrokeshire. I guess that only makes me half-Welsh, but since starting my shirt business while at the University at Bristol in 1986 just over the Channel (I used to call it the Cardiff Channel!) I’ve dreamt of having a shop “this side”.
I have many happy memories of Cardiff, working closely for many years with The King’s Trust to help young people here, and I’m now delighted to welcome you to our very first store in my (nearly) homeland. My mother would be very proud.”
The store is on 17 Grand Arcade, Unit LG35, St Davids Shopping Centre, Cardiff, CF10 2EF.
