New brands at Frenchgate Shopping Centre

The Frenchgate Limited Partnership announced that a substantial “upsize” for JD Sports has coincided with the addition of F. Hinds the Jewellers, as well as confirmation that seven other retailers have signed up for new fit outs at the shopping centre. JD Sports is to relocate to an 8,500 sq ft store, almost three times its original size, close to HMV and EE on the first floor. F. Hinds has also opened a new 1,100 sq ft store.

To accommodate the moves, Dorothy Perkins will be moving to a 3,600 sq ft store on the ground floor and Miss Selfridge will be relocating to the first floor as part of a proposed new fit out with TopShop.

A number of existing retailers at Frenchgate including H&M, Topshop Topman, Next, H. Samuel and Quiz have announced plans to refurbish their current stores.

This follows the recent new deals and fit-outs at Frenchgatefor Ed’s Easy Diner, Garage Shoes and jewellery department stores, Pandora and Argento.

In total, the 14 brands constitute over 83,000 sq ft and around £2.75m of investment in store fit outs.
