Significant events
- “Most notably, we opened our first stores outside the warm but grey womb of the United Kingdom, with two sites in New York City; Cubitts SoHo and Cubitts West Village.”
- “Establishing Cubitts Inc., our first international subsidiary, and opening two physical retail sites in New York City.”
- “Strengthening our commercial partnership with ZEISS, while bringing almost all glazing in-house via our glazing lab in King's Cross, London.”
- “Continuing our technology transformation through investment in our ecommerce platform and operational support systems.”
- “Rolling out the latest version of our Made-to-Measure technology; using scanning, parametric fitting, Al (the artist formerly known as machine learning), and CNC machining to advance the way spectacles are chosen, designed, made and owned.”
- “The Company remained focused on stabilising performance through operational effectiveness, prioritizing organic development in the UK while continuing to assess opportunities in the US.”
- “In the subsequent year to 31 March 2026, Cubitts did not open any new stores, instead prioritising the optimisation and performance of its existing estate across the UK and US. Following the late 2024 launch of the new website, the Company continued to develop its digital platform and customer proposition with a service- and experience-led focus.”
- “Since the end of the financial year, the company has signed lease agreements for two additional stores - Manchester in the UK and Dublin in the EU, both opening later in the summer of 2026.”
- “The company has also taken two leases on operational spaces to open in the coming months, strengthening its long-term ambitions. This includes a standalone space of over 13,000 square feet on Blundell Street, London, realising the ambition to have the best spectacle making lab facility in London and 2,000 square feet of space in Brooklyn designed to support US fulfillment and serve as New York's only spectacle-making facility.”
