Wave of Lettings Washes Over Great Yarmouth
Posted by Ellandi on 26th Nov 2015
Ellandi have secured over 11,500 sq ft
of new lettings at Great Yarmouth’s Market Gates Shopping Centre. Deals include
a renewal, two relocations, the addition of four new retailers to the town and
the occupation of four previously vacant units - all just ahead of the festive
season.
The centre is also amidst a full
rebrand, highlighting the towns heritage, with internal and external signage
due to be completed before the end of the year and solar panels have been
installed on the roof of the car park which will supply clean energy to the
centre decreasing its carbon footprint.
Of the new retailers to enter the
scheme, luxury jewellery brand Pandora has opened a 2,000 sq ft store and
women’s fashion retailer Select has opened a 3000 sq ft store, both on a 10
year lease term.
In addition local salon Bellissimo has
taken a 1,500 sq ft store, Smart Menswear have taken a 538 sq ft store and
Warren James have taken a 2,202 sq ft store – all of which were previously
vacant.
Jewellery and accessory retailer Eye
Candy has agreed a renewal of their current unit within the scheme whilst mobile
operator, Mobile Solutions has relocated into the scheme from the High Street. Additionally
That’s Entertainment have relocated from their previous unit to make space for
Select.
Furthermore, following the buyout of
99p stores by Poundland, an agreement has been made to refit and rebrand the
store in January.
Alex Brooker, asset management director
at Ellandi, said: “This is a really positive outcome for the scheme as it goes
through this transitional period.
“The arrival of national retailers
Pandora and Select shows a real confidence in the town whilst the renewal and
relocations are encouraging and reflect the great trading environment.”
Local MP and Minister of State for Housing and Planning, Brandon Lewis added: “Its
fantastic news that shops and businesses are choosing to invest to Great
Yarmouth, particularly in the run up to Christmas. The great shopping in Market
Gates, coupled with the free parking trial currently being undertaken, shows
confidence in Great Yarmouth as a shopping destination, and I hope this
encourages other businesses to invest in this thriving market town.”
