Victoria Leeds celebrates record footfall and new openings
Victoria Leeds is celebrating what is expected to be its most successful year for footfall in its eight-year history.
The number of visits to Victoria Gate is up 15% this year compared to the centre’s previously busiest footfall year of 2019. With an additional 850,000 people entering the centre in 2024, it is now on target to achieve a million more visitors than in 2019 by the end of the year.
The centre has also announced the arrival of new stores for the Cambridge Satchel leather bag brand and the Northhome Nordic-inspired home décor retailer.
Situated in County Arcade, Cambridge Satchel’s 881 square foot space offers a range of collections for women and men, including the brand’s iconic satchels, handbags, backpacks and briefcases.
Meanwhile, Northhome has relocated and doubled the size of its store within Victoria Leeds to 4,230 square feet to enable it to offer an expanded product range and launch a new gourmet food hall and basement bar.
Rachel Bradburn, leasing director at Victoria Leeds, said: “2024 is revealing itself to be a standout year for us, welcoming a number of incredible new brands across the centre, working with existing brands to facilitate growth opportunities and seeing footfall at Victoria Gate reach new heights.
“The latest openings of Cambridge Satchel and Northhome reflect these accomplishments, and I look forward sharing what is in store for Victoria Leeds in 2025.”
