Intu Lakeside launches new leisure offering
Intu has launched a new £72 million leisure extension at its Lakeside shopping centre.
Spanning 225,000 square feet, the extension is anchored by the likes of Puttshack, Hollywood Bowl and Flipout. In addition, Nickelodeon will join the line-up in the autumn.
Dining outlets include The Hall from food hall operator Market Halls, and a range of other restaurants such as Chiktopia and Casco Lounge.
Intu expects the extension to increase Intu Lakeside’s 20 million annual footfall by more than two million and transform the centre into a major south east tourist destination.
Matthew Roberts, Intu chief executive, said: “Compelling leisure experiences are well-recognised drivers of shopping centre footfall and dwell time and a project of this scale is a real first for the UK market.
“It has been created to ensure intu Lakeside remains one of the country’s most popular retail and leisure destinations for many years to come and we have curated a fantastic of mix of flourishing leisure and dining brands to guarantee its success.”
