Overall, 48 new retailers have been introduced at Junction 32 and Freeport Fleetwood including Oasis, Marks & Spencer, Monsoon, Mexx, ex-Zara, Racing Green, Trespass and Antler.

Freeport Braintree has already been refurbished while plans are now beign drawn up to give a fresh start to the indoor outlet mall at Talke in Staffordshire.
