MERSEYWAY Shopping Centre in Stockport has completed lease renewals with a number of national retailers.
 
Waterstones, Topshop, Three Store and Thomas Cook have all renewed their leases, with local retailer Gabbott’s Farm also agreeing new terms.

The lease renewals follow on from a hat-trick of new lettings confirmed in late 2014 with F Hinds, West Coast and Santander all taking space at the centre.

Jacqueline O’Shea, director of property agents GVA and managing agent of Merseyway, said: “With footfall at Merseyway in 2014 exceeding 10m for the fourth successive year, these lease renewals demonstrate the confidence retailers have in Stockport as a shopping destination.

“There has been a lot of positive news coming out of the town in recent months, with plans for the 80,000 sq ft Redrock development being approved and the developments in Stockport Council’s transport strategy which could see trams coming to Stockport, all of which can only enhance the town’s existing offering and benefit retailers at the centre in the long term.”
 
Tushingham Moore and Savills are letting agents for the centre.
