Retailer launches £6m ‘flagship’ store in Leeds shopping centre

Retailer Next has opened its new 55,000 sq ft flagship store at the White Rose Shopping Centre in Leeds.

The fashion and home retailer has invested £6m in the development of the store after upscaling its previous site.

Next’s former site was 29,000 sq ft at the centre, and the new store takes up nearly double the floor space over two floors.

White Rose has recently added six new restaurants to its lineup including Five Guys, Limeyard, Wagamama, TGI Fridays, Pizza Hut and Chiquito, opening early July, followed by an outdoor children’s play area and a Cineword IMAX cinema later in the year.

Steven Foster, general manager at White Rose Shopping Centre, said: “The multi-million pound Next expansion will offer visitors and exciting shopping experience and strengthen the already impressive line-up we have here at White Rose.

“White Rose is constantly evolving to suit our visitors’ needs, and we have so many exciting additions over the next few months.”
