The Centre attracts range of new brands
The Centre in Livingston has signed up a range of retail brands including Hotel Chocolat, New Look, Specsavers and Schuh Kids.
Managed by Hines, the West Lothian centre is one of Scotland’s largest covered shopping centres.
Hotel Chocolat has moved into a 1,433 square foot space on a five-year lease while New Look is to relocate from its current store to a larger 10,700 square foot space in early 2020.
Meanwhile, Specsavers will also be relocating to a bigger store by taking a 3,502 square foot unit. In addition, Schuh will expand its current store into the neighbouring Specsavers store once it is vacated. This will enable the footwear retailer to introduce its Schuh Kids offering to the centre.
The Centre has attracted a record 16.6 million visitors over the past 12 months to mark an incarese of 8.3% on this time last year.
Sharon Bloodworth, director of shopping centre asset management at Hines, said: “At a time of disruption in retail, The Centre is bucking the national trend, with retailers seeing record footfall and introducing new ranges. Livingston’s population continues to grow, and our retailers are successfully combining their digital and physical stores, with more than 40 retailers offering click and collect services at The Centre.”
