Lettings boost as retailers flock to Trinity Walk
FIVE new stores are set to open at the Trinity Walk in Wakefield as retailers seek to take advantage of the growing success of the 500,000 sq ft shopping centre.
O2, Claire’s Accessories, womenswear retailer Roman and local independent sweet shop Candy Treats are all new to the centre, while card and gift specialist Clintons is reopening in the store that closed when the chain went into administration last year.
O2 is taking a 2,422 sq ft unit, while ladies fashion brand Roman has signed up for 2,566 sq ft ground floor unit with 1,700 sq ft on first), both are on the open Teall Way mall which links Trinity Walk’s central Grammar Square food & beverage quarter with the rest of the city centre.
A host of big names – including JD, Bank, LUSH, GAME and Deichmann – are located in this mall.
Claire’s (1,944 sq ft on two levels) and Candy Treats (516 sq ft ground floor only) have both taken units in the covered Trinity Walk mall which links H&M, TopShop and Next to Debenhams, New Look and Argos.
Also in Trinity Walk mall, Clintons has taken a new lease on the 3,418 sq ft ground floor/2,808 sq ft first floor unit that it previously occupied.
Clintons was bought out of administration earlier this year by Ohio-based American Greetings and is now back on the expansion trail.
