Victoria's Secret Launches Flagship Birmingham Store at Bullring with Overnight Queues and Pink Festivities
The highly awaited Victoria's Secret store has now officially opened its doors at Birmingham Bullring, marking a significant addition to the city's retail landscape. Eager shoppers demonstrated their dedication by queuing through the night, with some arriving as early as 3am to be among the first to enter the iconic pink-themed flagship location.
Dedicated Shoppers and Grand Opening Celebrations
Among the enthusiastic crowd were Luna Sakaiani, aged 21, and Kira Neys, aged 23, from Leicester, who had been waiting outside since the early hours. Kira notably hadn't slept all night in anticipation. Luna expressed their excitement, stating, "We've been here since three in the morning, like weirdos! We love Victoria's Secret, anything pink and girlie. We're so excited. There's no Victoria's Secret near us, so we're happy there's one near us now so we don't have to order everything online."
The grand opening was celebrated with a vibrant pink pyjama party theme. A new look 'angel' bull was unveiled, adorned in pink pyjamas, while dancers in matching attire performed around it. The ribbon-cutting ceremony took place at 9:30am on Friday, March 6, though the scissors initially struggled with the large pink ribbon, leading to it being whisked away to cheers from the excited attendees.
Store Features and Exclusive Launch Events
Inside the store, customers were treated to a lively atmosphere featuring:
- A DJ performing a live set to energize the crowd.
- A photo booth for shoppers to capture and share memories with friends.
- A prominent Victoria's Secret dog mascot adding to the festive environment.
- Perfume bottle engraving services for personalization.
- Free PINK lollipops distributed to visitors.

Additionally, the first 100 shoppers who spent £25 or more received complimentary goody bags as a special incentive.
