The Lexicon signs a raft of new brands
The Lexicon shopping centre in Bracknell has announced a raft of new signings.
A joint venture between Schroders Capital UK Real Estate Fund and Legal & General Capital, the scheme has seen Hobbs, Wimpy, Gymfinity Kids, Laser Clinic, Hat and Home and Perfect Smile take a combined 22,041 square feet of space.
Womenswear brand Hobbs has committed to a 2,260 square foot store in a former Jack Wills unit, while UK burger chain Wimpy will occupy a 3,799 square foot space as part of the centre’s diverse food and beverage offering.
The signings follow news that Sports Direct is open a 40,000 square foot store at The Lexicon which means the centre is now 70% let.
Tom Woolven, asset manager at Schroders Capital, said: “We are delighted with the lettings we have secured at The Lexicon over the past few months. The arrival of these new leading retail, F&B and leisure brands, combined with the plans to further enhance the centre will ensure The Lexicon remains a thriving retail destination which continues to attract people from across the Thames Valley.
“The Lexicon is integral to the redevelopment of Bracknell town centre, and these latest lettings will also help solidify the town’s status as a key destination within the Berkshire region. As the scheme continues to go from strength to strength, we are excited to see how these new lettings will accelerate the towns rejuvenation in the future.”
