'Retail is our core business but people are looking for more than that. They want somewhere to go shopping but also have a bite to eat and be entertained' - Glynn Morrow.
Flip Out, a Putt Putt Noodle and Boom Battle Bar are all set to be added to the Telford Centre this year, alongside the likes of Inflata Nation Inflatable Theme Park.
Telford Centre manager Glynn Morrow says such moves can help the complex continue to 'buck the trend' by attracting big numbers."It's not just about retail. Everything we do is in partnership with, for example, the guys at the council and Telford International Centre.He added:"Retail is our core business but people are looking for more than that. They want somewhere to go shopping but also have a bite to eat and be entertained.
"We see ourselves as not just a shopping centre. We have the former Debenhams here which has been re-let for Flip Out, who are fitting out in there, Putt Putt Noodle and Boom Battle Bar. They are taking up 90,000 sq ft of space, which is really positive. "It gives us a different level in terms of leisure offer moving forward, alongside what we already have including Inflata Nation.""It's been a positive time all round, with stores trading well and footfall was 4.5 per cent up on 2019 over the festive period."That has started now and it will be a brand new Frasers store. Customers will start to see new signs going up and new brands coming into there.
He added:"There's a perception that retail isn't doing great but we really are bucking the trend here."But our footfall bounced back pretty well after Covid and people are shopping more local as well. People aren't necessarily heading to Birmingham.
