The retail complex first began opening in 2016 with promises that it will 'transform' the town centre
When Barons Quay shopping centre opened its doors in 2016, it was hoped it would transform Northwich town entre.
However, it appears to have done little to turn around Northwich's fortunes - and it continues to be handicapped by what the council describes as 'challenging' trading environments. The Covid pandemic came four years into its life and now the cost of living crisis is hitting the high street hard.Yet some are asking questions over whether the town's residents wanted the development in the first place.
Jonathan Fell from Sticky Paws said: "Sticky Paws was an exciting new concept that we wanted to bring to Northwich. However, the timing could not have been worse for us, opening just one week before the first Covid lockdown. The closure was preceded by good news in the form of Barrhead Travel's long-delayed opening at Barons Quay. Local manager Sean Buckley praised the 'community spirit' in the town as well as his 'excitement' to work with other businesses and the shopping centre to 'help promote shopping local'.
"We have completed 18 lettings since opening. We have solicitors instructed or are under offer on a further three units. This will leave us with approximately 50,000 sq ft or seven units to let but there is flexibility to reconfigure or amalgamate this space to suit the changing requirements of retailers."
