Last updated 30th Jan 2024
Retail giant Frasers Group has announced it is moving into Queensgate Shopping Centre in Peterborough.
It will be home to a Frasers and Sports Direct in the former John Lewis space, totalling 92,500 square feet.
Frasers will include brands for men, women and children, as well as homeware and beauty products.
It follows the announcement last week that Queensgate Shopping Centre's Marks & Spencer was closing down.
Following the completion of landlord works, Frasers Group will takeover the space in 2025.
Ed Ginn, Director of Investment Management at Invesco Real Estate, said: “The signing of Frasers Group is a significant step in our drive to transform Queensgate into a leading retail and leisure destination.
"Positioned in the top 1% of UK shopping centres, we are committed to investing in brands that will not only enhance the centre, but share our ethos for excellence, innovation and providing an exemplary experience.
"The quality of offer that Frasers Group provides will help attract an even bigger catchment, repeat visits, and longer dwell time, as we continue to evolve Queensgate with the needs and desires of our visitors firmly in mind.”
A spokesperson for Frasers Group commented: “We are pleased to confirm that we will be opening a new Frasers concept store in Peterborough’s Queensgate Shopping Centre, bringing customers the world’s most aspirational brands, as well as a dynamic beauty hall.
"A 30,000 sq. ft Sports Direct store will also open, featuring a USC, Jack Wills and GAME.
"We are big believers in physical retail and these openings mark an exciting time for the Group as we continue to expand our store portfolio across the UK and Europe.”
