More stores moving into city shopping centre
New retailers have been confirmed as moving into Sheffield’s Crystal Peaks shopping centre.
Among the arrivals at the centre are The Pud Store, which has taken on a 1,180 sq ft unit.
It specialises in affordable, discounted children’s fashion, and is the brainchild of young entrepreneur Frances Bishop, best known for her appearance in the 12th season of BBC hit The Apprentice.
Another family-friendly business coming to Crystal Peaks is Toytown, a family owned toy shop chain and currently one of the largest independent toy retailers in the UK.
Its 8,000 sq ft unit at this Sheffield premises is the company’s 29th store, and its fifth new opening this year.
Discount brand One Below opened in a 5,500 sq ft unit in the Crystal Peaks East mall in the spring, as part of a major expansion plan which sees the Barnsley-based business aiming to open 50 stores across the UK this year.
A further success has been independent menswear store Boardroom, stocking a range of fashion brands in its 2,900 sq ft Crystal Peaks unit, as well as a recently launched own brand label.
The newer arrivals at the shopping centre join established names, including Sainsburys, Marks & Spencer, WH Smith, Bonmarche, Burton, Clarks, Claire’s, Iceland, Greggs, Next, Peacocks, Superdrug and Thorntons.
Crystal Peaks, which attracts over 10m visitors per year, has also introduced a free soft play facility to help encourage families to stay longer.
