“Over the years, we have built up a strong portfolio of retailers, including Apple, Victoria’s Secret, Hugo Boss, Zara and Michael Kors that give the centre a premium edge within the heart of the city.

“In the coming months, we will make further changes to the centre to enhance the customer experience as well as announce new retailers coming to join us.”

This month, Midsummer Place reopened for non-essential retail and welcomed new retailer, SD –The Home of Menswear by Suit Direct.

The change comes two weeks after the shopping centre reopened for non-essential stores, following lockdown restrictions being lifted across the country.

Shelley adds: “We have always been a big part of our local community and, now with restrictions easing, our aim is to bring people back to the centre and remind them of the thrill of our shopping and leisure offering, all under a new brand.”
