Fashion store New Look looks likely to feature as a key component in Phase 2 of Bradley Stoke’s Willow Brook Centre.
The news is revealed in an updated version of the Willow Brook Centre marketing brochure, available on the Alder King website, which shows unit three of the retail terrace being ‘under offer’ to the fashion group.
The Journal understands that New Look is yet to exchange contracts for the Willow Brook unit, but has agreed that its name may be used in marketing material, to help attract other potential tenants to the development.
The new store will neighbour that of shoe concern Brantano, revealed as a tenant last September when marketing literature showing the group occupying unit two of the retail terrace was distributed at a meeting of the Bradley Stoke Safer and Stronger Community Group.
Phase 2 of the Willow Brook Centre is expected to be fully open in June/July. The Westworld and Ladbrokes stores, which form a third side of the Town Square, could open earlier, but not before May.
More imminently, maths and English tuition centre Explore Learning opens it doors this Thursday (15th January) on the first floor of the Willow Brook Centre’s main building. The centre, which caters for children aged 5-14, will be open seven days a week. Membership operates on a monthly basis and includes two 75 minute sessions per week. The company is offering free trial sessions during the opening week, but places are said to be filling fast. More information on 07776 137139.
Also opening within the next seven days is the Curves ladies-only fitness and health facility. According to the company’s literature, Curves is designed exclusively for busy women who want to reach their fitness goals in just 30 minutes, three times a week. The company is offering two-thirds off its joining fee for the first one hundred applicants. The facility has its official opening on Monday 19th January. More information on 01454 270875.
