As part of the agreement, Sainsbury’s will open two Oasis concessions to customers during Christmas at Sainsbury’s Sydenham in South London and Sainsbury’s Selly Oak in Birmingham.
Sainsbury’s commercial director James Brown said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Oasis to Sainsbury’s stores. Its on-trend fashion ranges will complement our high-quality Tu clothing offer and support our strategy to make our stores leading fashion destinations.
“The initial trial will see two stores open in time for Christmas, which is brilliant news for those looking for a party outfit or a special gift.”
According to the retailer, Sainsbury’s supermarkets can accommodate more than 400,000ft2 of space for third-party concessions. It also has partnerships with high street brands such as Clarks and Specsavers.
