Retailers sign for 36,000 sq ft at retail park

A SOUTH Yorkshire retail park has been given a boost with Next and Marks & Spencer Simply Food  agreeing terms for two new units.

Next is to upsize into 23,518 sq ft with a full cover mezzanine floor on a 15 year lease at Wheatley Retail Park in Doncaster, while Marks & Spencer Simply Food will open its first store at the park taking a 12,502 sq ft unit.

Duncan Reader, asset manager for British Land, said: “We look forward to welcoming a full line Next, and a new Marks & Spencer Simply Food to Wheatley Retail Park.

“Both retailers are known for driving footfall and will enhance the already strong tenant mix at the park. We are delighted that through our strong relationship with both retailers we are now able to offer more choice to our customers.”

Other retailers at the park include TK Maxx, Boots, Matalan and Sports Direct.
