Frasers Group gives update on retail transformation at Dundee’s Overgate
Frasers Group has given an update on the retail transformation taking place at Overgate in Dundee following its acquisition of the shopping centre last year.
In addition to signing a number of new leases, the group will also open a 70,000 square foot Frasers concept store at the scheme which is set to open in the spring of 2025.
The next-generation store will offer a range of premium, lifestyle and sport brands across fashion, homewares and beauty, as well Frasers Group brands Sports Direct, USC, Evans Cycle and Game.
New leases signed include Søstrene Grene, which opened last month, and Muffin Break, which is relocating to the ground floor. Castore, Mooboo Bubble Tea and Cinnabon will also be opening at the scheme in the coming months.
Overgate Shopping Centre has been undergoing a substantial transformation in recent months with several new brands introduced including Rituals, Pandora, Lovisa, Bee Inspired and The Leith Collective. Existing retailers have also been reinvesting in their stores with refits and refurbishments.
Malcolm Angus, centre manager of Overgate Shopping Centre, said: “We have had a busy 18 months since Frasers Group invested in the Overgate Shopping Centre, to date bringing over 12 new exciting brands to the centre.
“The opening of the 70,000 square foot Frasers store next year will be a transformational moment for Overgate, for the city, and for the wider region, regenerating this landmark space with an exceptional retail experience synonymous with Frasers Group. We are very much advancing the vision and commencement of works at pace.”
