The brands you follow, in real life
For property owners
Turn vacant space into a curated destination
Depart.A.Mental is a curated co-retail department store concept from Co-X. Independent premium lifestyle brands each run their own space inside a shared, staffed, curated store, with one checkout for the customer. Brands keep control of assortment, pricing and presentation, own their inventory to the point of sale and receive their sales in real time, while Co-X runs the retail operation. Four locations are open: Stockholm Arlanda Terminal 5, Westfield Mall of Scandinavia in Solna, Asecs in Jönköping and Krämaren in Örebro. The network spans airport travel retail, super-regional shopping centres and city-centre locations, and is expanding across the Nordics through partnerships with institutional property owners.

A destination, not a placeholder
One operator, dozens of curated brands. The space reads as a department store rather than a rotating series of short-term tenants.
Operated end to end
Co-X staffs, merchandises and runs the store, handles checkout and reports performance. There is no per-brand tenancy for you to administrate.
Footfall that converts
A changing brand mix, in-store events and a beauty bar give visitors a reason to return, which lifts dwell time across the surrounding units.
Proven in mixed environments
The concept trades in a super-regional centre, an international airport terminal and regional city-centre locations.
Depart.A.Mental operates in partnership with institutional property owners including Alecta, Lundbergs Fastigheter, Swedavia and Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield.
