TK Maxx to join line-up at Queensgate
TK Maxx is to join the retail line-up at Peterborough’s Queensgate Shopping Centre this March.
The retailer has taken a 37,500 square foot store on the centre’s Upper Mall.
The news follows the recent unveiling of a new-look John Lewis & Partners department store at the centre after an investment of £21 million improved the retailer’s existing 134,942 square foot store. The shop forms part of a wider £60 million extension for Queensgate which will provide a further 77,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.
Gary Rowntree, head of branch John Lewis & Partners Peterborough, said: ”We are pleased that the full shop refurbishment is almost complete, and we have already opened exciting new features such as our Style Studio and the World of Design. The revamp was a significant investment and the largest spend on a store across our shop estate last year. Customers want more than just products, they want a destination and the new-look shop offers just that, with service-led experiences at its heart.”
Queensgate has also seen Skechers, Swarovski, Deichmann and Disney.open new stores at the centre in recent months.
Guy Thomas, head of retail at Lendlease, said: “This is an extremely exciting period for Queensgate, during which a significant investment is being made in the Centre. Having new retailers signing up to join us is testament to our aim of successfully positioning Queensgate as the dominant retail space in its catchment area.”
