The arrival of fashion retailer Klass and Card Centre will further expand our offering. The new stores will be a great addition for shoppers in the run up to the busy Christmas shopping period and there will be plenty of offers across all stores.

“Our aim is to provide a top class shopping experience and we will continue to grow and invest in the centre to bring new changes on-site and new retailers in the lifestyle, fashion and food and beverage categories.”
