Spanning 2,740 sq ft, the new space brings together Sky Mobile, Sky Broadband, and Sky TV all in one place. It also includes an iSmash service facility, providing customers with repair and maintenance services on site.
The new shop at St David’s Cardiff is the first of its kind in Wales, focusing on customer experience alongside Sky’s products.
Speaking on behalf of the St David’s Partnership, Russell Loveland, senior portfolio director for Landsec, commented: “This new bricks and mortar Sky shop is the first of its kind in Wales, and makes another great addition in an already busy year for St David’s. Sky’s new retail strategy highlights the benefits of physical retail spaces which focus on a redefined customer experience, and we are confident the brand will be able to build upon their customer-driven success at St David’s.”
Matthew Price, Retail Director, Sky UK, added: “We are delighted to be opening our first ever retail shop in Wales at St David’s Cardiff.
