The park is anchored by B&Q, Sainsbury, and the recently developed Range. Other occupiers include Burger King, McDonalds, KFC, and Starbucks. The property is adjacent to the Mecca Bingo Hall and Gregg’s drive through.
This is a highly accessible location, surrounded by a mix of local authority, former local authority, and private housing, providing a large customer base.
