Big names sign up to Wellington Place as retail offer expands
Sainsbury’s and Caffe Nero are set to join the retail line up at Wellington Place in Leeds, MEPC has confirmed.
Sainsbury’s, due to open on July 18, will be the sixth retail operator to open at the Wellington Place development, taking 5,639 sq ft of retail space on the ground floor of building number 5.
The new Local store will create 18 jobs.
Caffe Nero will also open at Wellington Place later this summer. The coffee house brand will be situated on the ground floor of the newly opened Number 3 building.
James Dipple, CEO of MEPC, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Sainsbury’s and Caffe Nero to the Wellington Place community. They’re great new additions and will provide even more convenience, joining a wealth of other successful retail outlets including The Good Luck Club, Sociable Folk and L1 Performance.
“We wish Sainsbury’s and Caffe Nero the best of luck with their new ventures and hope they can replicate the success of our other retailers in this thriving city centre community.”
Meanwhile, work continues across the site with Number 3 Wellington Place now open for business and confirmation that ground will be broken on Number 4 later this year.
