Touchwood Solihull has announced the opening of two brand new stores, just in time for May half term.

On Thursday 18 May, a new Levi Strauss and Co store opens at Touchwood, offering shoppers a wide range of Levi 's clothing and accessories, including the famous 501 Original Jean, Trucker Jackets, and more. The brand is a strong addition to the centre 's existing selection of global brands.

The second opening of the month is Mirabella 's Play Caf� - a brand new concept store where visitors are encouraged to “eat, drink and play ”.

Opening on Monday 29 May, Mirabella 's invites parents to relax and indulge in delicious food and drink, be it a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, while their little ones go on an adventure in the soft play - suitable for children aged zero to six years old. The caf� will also serve sweet treats including gelato, waffles, and crepes.

Sessions at Mirabella 's run for 90 minutes with bookings available to make online, and walk-ins welcome subject to availability. Offering play dates, private play sessions, sensory sessions, and special events such as birthday parties, the caf� will cater to all visitors both in opening hours and out of hours for private bookings.

Along with the two new openings, and hoping to dazzle customers, renowned jeweller Fraser Hart is re-opening its doors on Saturday 20 May following a store refit. Visitors can expect a gleaming new interior and to browse a fantastic range of luxury watches, diamonds, jewellery, and items for gifting. Fraser Hart 's Touchwood outlet is one of the brand 's 26 stores nationwide.

The raft of new openings enhances Touchwood 's reputation as a hub for fashion, dining, and entertainment, adding to its existing range of clothing brands and eateries. Just earlier this year, Touchwood added international brand Mango, eatery Tio Latino, and drinks outlet Bubble CiTea to its portfolio.

Tony Elvin (pictured) general manager at Touchwood, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Levi 's and Mirabella 's Play Caf� to Touchwood this May, along with the exciting re-opening of the refurbished Fraser Hart store. We have had a fantastic start to 2023 and look forward to further consolidating Touchwood as an exciting and diverse destination for visitors both within the region and further afield. ”

Global clothing brand Levi 's will be located on Crescent Arcade, while Mirabella 's Play Caf� opens at 3 Manor Walk. The refurbished Fraser Hart can be found on Mill Lane Arcade.

Guy Taylor, site manager for Levi 's Touchwood, added: “We are really excited to be opening a new store in Solihull and can 't wait to welcome customers through our doors! ”

Noel Coyle, CEO of Fraser Hart, commented: “We are delighted that our Touchwood showroom will reopen following a major investment in refurbishment.

“Featuring dedicated boutique areas for our luxury brands such as Tudor, TAG Heuer, Longines and Gucci, the store will also showcase our premium diamond and jewellery ranges - which include fully traceable mine to finger diamonds, our coveted Orchid Setting and our exclusive Lab Grown Diamond collection. We look forward to welcoming our clients to our fabulous new showroom and experience the highest levels of customer service. ”
