HMV letting is music to Broadway’s ears

THE Broadway Shopping Centre, the £260m retail development which opened last year, has welcomed music giant HMV and national bakery brand Millie’s Cookies to its offering.

The lettings see Millie’s Cookies open its first outlet in Bradford and HMV taking up a 7,950 sq ft unit within the centre.

Millie’s Cookies will be located on Charles Street mall between WHSmith and Claire’s Accessories and, as part of a varied menu, will offer a personalised icing service on its signature giant cookies.

At the helm of the Millie’s Cookies franchise at The Broadway is mother and son team Kasim and Mina Malik.

Mr Malik said: “Millie’s Cookies is such a well-liked brand, with 100 stores across the country we know that people in Bradford will already be familiar with it, so we are thrilled to be able to bring it to the area.”

HMV takes up a mezzanine unit on the ground floor of the shopping centre, next to Debenhams.

Ian Ward, general manager of The Broadway, says: “We are really excited to welcome Millie’s Cookies and HMV to the shopping centre. Both stores are a huge draw, with a quality offer for shoppers of all ages. The Broadway is committed to providing the best possible shopping experience for Bradford, and this includes introducing retailers which have never before been available in the city.”
