Skopes has officially opened its flagship store at the White Rose Shopping Centre, bringing our proud Leeds heritage back home. This grand opening was more than just the launch of a new store – it was a celebration of our journey, from our humble beginnings in Leeds in 1948 to becoming a leading name in menswear across the UK.
A star-studded opening
Skopes CEO Simon Cope cut the ribbon alongside brand ambassador and Married at First Sight star Matt Jameson. The opening also saw appearances from some of Leeds’ biggest names, including Leeds Rhinos legend Kevin Sinfield CBE and former Leeds United stars Ross McCormack, Ben Parker, and Noel Whelan.
The entertainment didn’t stop there. Live music from Leeds singer-songwriter Kuill and mind-bending tricks by Britain’s Got Talent magician Luke Lenihan kept the crowd mesmerised throughout the day, making it a celebration of fashion, fun, and local talent.
