The opening of a high street clothing store has garnered mixed reactions from readers across Bracknell.

Levi's opened its doors to excited customers in The Lexicon on Thursday, October 17.

This is just one of many new shops that have launched in the Bracknell shopping complex following the devastation that was caused during Covid on the high street.

Following the news of the store openings, customers came forward with mixed opinions on the launch of the well-known brand.

Many wished the staff good luck on a successful opening and a prosperous future in Bracknell.

Keith Marsden Allen said: “Pleased to see this the other day. Levi’s are a staple brand, and more brands coming to Bracknell is a good sign of a buoyant town centre. The more this continues, the more local people will come to the Lexicon instead of travelling out to Reading etc.”

Another reader, Donny Cocoran said: “Good luck to them and hope it works out but would like a Zara in the Lexicon please,”

Bracknell shoppers have been hoping for Zara to make an appearance in the coming years.

The hope is that the expanding customer base from outside the area will attract bigger brands.

Sue Howorth Collins said: “Great news, gotta love a pair of Levis ....good luck to all the staff.”

Although there are many positive comments, some people have the opinion that due to rising rent costs and falling foot fall, the shop may not last over six months in the Lexicon.

Julie Anne added: “Wont last long, the store in Westfield London is always empty, don’t see this one will be any different. I guess its better than an empty shop, but maybe a high street shop people with the average budget will actually buy from.

Another reader said: “Six months it will be gone as rents are too much and foot fall will be low.”
