Eastbourne’s The Beacon secures triple signing
A trio of retailers have signed up for space at the £85 million extension to Eastbourne’s The Beacon.
Footwear brand Skechers, fashion retailer Quiz and UK stationery and lifestyle brand Neon Sheep have all committed to opening stores.
Andrew Rice, fund manager of the centre owners Legal & General, said: “We are delighted to announce that three more units have signed for The Beacon. These are all quality brands that reflect the high level of confidence in Eastbourne as a shopping destination and expand the already significant offer for our customers.
“Since the first phase of the extension opened before Christmas, we have seen the steady arrival of new brands to the centre which is particularly impressive considering the current economic climate within retail. It shows the appeal of The Beacon that has transformed the face of shopping in Eastbourne.”
The Beacon’s existing line-up in the new extension includes H&M, Next, FatFace, Schuh, Jack Wills, New Look, Flying Tiger, Paperchase, JoJo Maman Bébé and Lovisa. Meanwhile, Nando’s is trading on the first floor and Taylor’s Restaurant and Sports Bar and The Bok Shop will open in the autumn.
