“The store will breathe energy, heritage, authenticity and originality, showcasing how far the brand has evolved during its 100-year history.
“O’Neills will offer fashion-conscious consumers an exciting experience and identity while also appealing to technically-demanding athletes.”
Alana Coyle, director at CBRE, said: “Following the announcement of Marks & Spencer as the first tenant at Marlborough Retail Park, we are pleased to secure the letting of another high calibre occupier in O’Neills.
“We are confident that these leading retailers will act as a major catalyst in attracting continued future investment and generating further development at the retail park.
