Work has begun on The Food Warehouse which will be built next door to Aldi.

The 11,000 square foot store is due to be open in November this year.

It follows the opening of Smyths Toys on the retail park, in place of a carpet shop, and plans from The Range were approved to extend its current store and refurbish its exterior.

The Brookhouse Group, who own the site, said: “We’re extremely pleased with the transformation at Queens Central over the past 18 months. A high quality public realm together with a strong tenant mix has proved to work as a shop window to attract new retailers as well as retain our existing tenants. With The Range having also re geared their lease the weighted average unexpired lease term for the park is in excess of 14 years which puts us in a strong position.

“Whilst the pace of change in the retail sector is at uncharted levels we do feel that opportunities are still there If the product and mix are presented and managed in the right way. Visitor numbers to the Park have increased by 24% in a period of 12 months. With Smyths and Food Warehouse footfall to add to the mix, 2018 should be yet another very positive year of growth for Queens Shopping Park.”
