Meadowhall announces new signings

Yorkshire shopping centre Meadowhall has secured over 21,000 square foot of new lettings and upsizes in the last three months, as the first phase of its 60 million pound refurbishment nears completion.

One of the key new signings includes womenswear brand Ghost London, which has acquired a 900 square foot store on Park Lane in the shopping centre. The store marks the brand’s second standalone store outside of London and will showcase its ready-to-wear, beachwear and the company’s dye-to-order bridal range.

Ghost London chairman, Touker Suleyman, said: “Meadowhall is a great location for us. As a leading regional fashion and retail destination, it was the perfect choice for us to open our second standalone store outside London as part of our northern store portfolio expansion. We continue to grow the brand from strength-to-strength and the new site will become a top performer.”

Adjacent to Ghost London, Hawes and Curtis is to make its regional debut at Meadowhall with a 900 square foot store, while sportswear and fashion brand, JD Sports, is increasing its store size to 11,400 square foot from 9,500 square foot on Meadowhall’s High Street.

Commenting on the recent signings, Richard Crowther, asset manager for British Land, joint owner of Meadowhall said: “As we continue to increase Meadowhall’s choice and variety, the mass of new signings is testament to our status as the number one shopping destination in the region.

“Securing brands for their regional debuts further strengthens our offering, whilst Meadowhall’s strong performance is also reflected by a growing trend amongst existing retailers to upsize. Combined, the new and improved retailers and catering brands make Meadowhall even more appealing to visitors from across the region.”
