St David’s in Cardiff has kept up the pace of lettings with three new deals
St David’s, owned by Capital Shopping Centres and Land Securities, has upgraded its catering and convenience offers with three new deals.
The latest deal follows a series of high profile lettings in St David’s with the centre growing from 81 stores trading in January 2010 to 116 at the year-end after 37 new deals were exchanged.
Red Hot World Buffet & Bar will open a 10,274-sq ft unit restaurant comprising 8,498 sq ft at street level and 1,776 sq ft at upper level. The restaurant will be located on Hill Street, in an external unit opposite Debenhams and is due to open in the summer.
Retail giant Tesco is to open its Tesco Express format in a 4,083 sq ft store at the centre in an external unit on Tredegar Street opposite John Lewis.
And premium doughnut retailer Krispy Kreme is to open its first store in Wales, at St David’s shopping centre in Cardiff, after a Facebook campaign by local sweet toothed shoppers calling for them to open in the city.
Hundreds of fans left messages on St David’s own Facebook page asking for the retailer to open in St David’s, making the retailer the most requested brand that Capital Shopping Centres and Land Securities have brought to Cardiff.
Krispy Kreme will open a 1,731-sq ft Coffee Bar on Town Wall, near to Pulp and Foot Asylum, in April.
E J Hales, Lunson Mitchenall and Cushman & Wakefield are the letting agents for St David’s. Red Hot World Buffet was represented by Lambert Smith Hampton and Krispy Kreme by Morgan Williams.
