Docks Bruxsel expands retail mix
Portus Retail has announced that a number of new retailers have taken space at its Docks Bruxsel shopping centre in Brussels.
Leases have been signed with Action, Avenue Fitzgerald and Cover Dreams as well as with a range of food and beverage brands. In addition, Merlin Entertainment is to open the world’s first next generation LEGOLAND Discovery Centre at Docks Bruxsel in 2022.
Peter Todd, founder of Portus Retail, said: “The continued growth of the centre reflects the high demand for retailers to connect with our strong consumer base, who continue to shop at Docks in their millions. As the pandemic begins to ease, we are excited to welcome back visitors in high numbers as they explore their favourite stores both old and new prior to the launch of the new LEGOLAND Discovery Centre next summer.”
Although footfall at the centre fell by 24% compared to 2019, in May 2021 Docks Bruxsel welcomed over 512,000 customers. This represented a 53% increase on the same month in 2019.
