New Tenants boost choice at Brandon Shopping Centre

The Brandon Shopping Centre has welcomed a number of new tenants to help boost the choice for shoppers in Motherwell town centre.

An indoor market with approx 25 individual market stalls and a cafe has opened at Brandon Parade, while a new fruit and vegetable stall will also be located in the shopping centre.

A new gift shop, Gift Land, has opened at Brandon Parade East and First Group has opened a new ticket office in the centre which will also be used as a drivers’ rest area. The Salvation Army is also opening a charity shop in the centre.

Our new traders will help provide an even more diverse shopping choice for the people of Motherwell, said Roger Telford, Asset Manager for owners CALA Properties.

Attracting four new tenants in such a tough period for retailers shows the strength of the local market and we are in talks with a further three retailers who have a keen interest in the Brandon Shopping Centre.

New retailers are a key part of our plans to revitalise and refresh the Brandon Shopping Centre and position it as the heart of Motherwell.

A planning application which will boost the quality of retail space and provide a new feature entrance at Brandon Shopping Centre, is presently under consideration by North Lanarkshire Council.

The plans allow for the development of the former Asda store, providing up to 74,000 sq ft of modern retail space, with new frontages to the mall and car park. Six new units have been designed to allow existing retailers in the town to expand and also to attract new traders not already represented in Motherwell.

The feature entrance at Brandon Parade South will provide a new focus and sense of identity for the Brandon Shopping Centre, and will be a key part of the planned improvements. The planning application is expected to be determined soon.
