Socktopus Opens Eighth Store in Park Street Bristol, Teases Aardman Studios Collaboration



BRISTOL, UK – Socktopus, the family-run company known for its vibrant and fun socks, is excited to announce the opening of its eighth store in the heart of Bristol. 


This new location marks the latest step in the company's mission to spread joy, one pair of socks at a time, and promises a unique shopping experience for the Bristol community.

Since launching in 2016, Socktopus has built a loyal following with its unique and high-quality sock collections. The new Bristol store offers a floor-to-ceiling display of colorful socks, inviting shoppers to explore a wide variety of styles, from popular Cowboy Capybaras and Star Wars designs to their not-for-the-easily-offended Sweary Sock range. The store is the perfect destination for finding a delightful gift or a personal treat.


"We are incredibly excited to bring the Socktopus experience to the wonderful city of Bristol," said Nick Starsmore, Co-Founder. "We can’t wait to share our full range with the local community. We also have an exciting collaboration with Bristol's own Aardman Studios just around the corner, so watch this space!"



In addition to their playful designs, Socktopus is committed to making a positive impact. The company’s Socks for good range donates a percentage of sales to various partner charities, including eight different LGBTQ+ organisations.


Socktopus invites everyone to visit the new blue store and discover the perfect pair of socks. The company's full collections are also available online at socktopus.com, on a newly upgraded website designed to enhance the shopping experience.
