Cheshire retail park adds trio of major high street brands
Clowes Developments (UK) has revealed that three major retail operators have signed up to its Viking Park, in Congleton.
Starbucks, KFC and Greggs will be added to the park’s roster and construction has already begun as Roe Developments initiated works on three retail units. The roadside convenience offering at Viking Park will consist of a detached 1,850 sq ft Starbucks drive-through facility at the front of the plot.
Next to Starbucks will be a semi-detached unit totalling 3,200 sq ft which will house a KFC and Greggs.
At the centre of the plot there will be a parking facility for up to 38 vehicles, including 4 E-V charging stations for added convenience of passing trade.
The retail units are located directly off Barn Road which runs through the centre of Viking Park connecting Congleton town to the A536 link road.
Starbucks, Greggs and KFC will sit next to the brand new Aldi store which officially opened to the general public last month.
Marc Freeman, Director, Clowes Developments (UK), said: “It’s good to see that the roadside convenience offering is now under construction on site at Viking Park.
“We feel that a Starbucks ‘drive thru’, KFC and Greggs will be a welcome addition to the business park. Following the successful opening of Aldi – it’s refreshing to watch Viking Park take shape.
“Our construction contractor, Roe Developments, will also be starting to construct a stand alone 20,000 sq ft unit for a yet to be named retailer.”
He added: We anticipate all units will be open for business by the summer of 2025.”
Elsewhere on the mixed-use scheme, residential developer, Bloor Homes, is progressing well with the construction of new homes.
On completion, Viking Park will deliver up to 175 homes, a 20,500sq ft supermarket/roadside convenience, as well as 36,800 sq ft of office facilities and 219,500 sq ft of industrial units.
Available units, including Viking103, are being marketed on an all enquiries basis.
