Primark to join line-up at Epsom’s Ashley Centre
Primark will be joining the line-up at Epsom’s Ashley Centre early next year.
The scheme is currently undergoing a £7 million refurbishment which includes works to create a refreshed interior and a new external entrance.
Primark has taken 44,000 square feet in a former House of Fraser space. Serving as the Ashley Centre’s anchor tenant, the new store will offer Primark’s full range of menswear, womenswear and childrenswear, as well as accessories, beauty, home, and lifestyle products. The store is expected to create around 100 jobs.
Philippa Nibbs, director of sales UK, London and the South East at Primark, said: “As we continue to invest in the UK high street, we are delighted to announce our new store in Epsom that will open next year. We look forward to becoming a part of this community and playing a central role in the refurbished Ashley Centre.”
The Ashley Centre’s refurbishment is due to be completed later this summer. In 2023, the scheme welcomed a raft of new retailers, including JD, Deichmann and Gail’s Bakery.
Louisa Butters, head of retail asset management UK at CBRE IM, said: “Primark’s signing is a significant moment for the Ashley Centre. The opening will mark another milestone in our repositioning project that underpins our long-term strategy for the revitalisation of the Ashley Centre, ensuring that it continues to serve the needs of the community in every way possible.
“We look forward to delivering an optimised and enhanced experience and environment for our visitors and reap the benefits of our large-scale refurbishment.”
