Henderson signs M&S, ShoeZone and Clintons at Manchester Fort
Marks & Spencer will launch a Simply Food outlet within an 18,000-sq ft unit at the scheme. The store is expected to launch in the autumn. Meanwhile Clinton, the national greetings card and gift retailer has taken a 3,800-sq ft unit and footwear retailer ShoeZone will take 2,600 sq ft of space. Both stores will open in July.
The news comes hot on the heels of Starbucks’ move to the site in April as well as Nandos in February. The new tenants will join existing stores including; Next, Asda Living, Boots, B&Q and Outfit.
Michael Neal, fund manager for the Henderson UK Retail Warehouse Fund, said: “Manchester Fort provides an ideal location for each of the new retailers where they will benefit from the strong footfall and calibre of existing tenants.
“The breadth of brands now available at the centre provides additional reasons for consumers to visit. In particular, we believe that the enhanced food offering, will further drive foot fall and sales.”
Wilkinson Williams & Morgan Williams acted as letting agents on behalf of Henderson.
