Fashion brand ARNE has announced plans for a café alongside its flagship store at Liverpool ONE.
ARNE was founded by Liverpool brothers Ryan and Reece Broadhurst in 2018, and the pair now have an estimated fortune of £110m.
The brothers have been included in BusinessCloud’s Founder 250 list, which recognises 250 of the UK’s best founder-led and founder-influenced businesses.
The online clothing and footwear brand successfully opened its first-ever permanent bricks-and-mortar flagship store in Liverpool ONE last September.
Following the success of ARNE Bites, which offers a mix of ice creams, milkshakes, coffee and freshly baked goods, the company will launch its first Café ARNE, offering an outdoor dining experience.
A spokesman said: “Due to the incredible success of ARNE Bites (which will still be on the Café ARNE menu), we are very happy to announce that we are now expanding into the full-blown café experience, which will be fitted into all flagship locations around the world for decades to come.
“For anyone wondering why, Café ARNE allows us to give more than just a shopping experience.
“It’s a chance to tell the story of the brand in a more intimate way, a chance for us to give back to you for all of your custom over the years and still today (free drinks and bites for amounts spent in-store), a chance to enjoy amazing bites and beverages in an elevated environment, and a chance to build a community and something we’ve always envisioned as being part of the brand.”
ARNE now has stores in Liverpool and Manchester, while its head office is at Birchwood Park, near Warrington.
Founder 250 is sponsored by RSM UK, CG, OBI and Mercia Ventures.
