The identity of the businesses are being kept under wraps, but it is hoped they will open in June or July creating around 10 new jobs
Two of the five shops available for lease which are part of Blackpool ’s new Holiday Inn Hotel have been snapped up.
The council, which owns the site, has reached agreements with two retailers for the outlets which form part of the Station View shopping area built into the new tram terminal which is part of the £34m Holiday Inn due to open on May 1. The identity of the businesses are being kept under wraps but it is hoped the shops will open in June or July with around 10 new jobs created.
Marketing of the units began in the second half of last year as part of the overall regeneration scheme which is due to see the tramway extension linking North Pier and North Station also open in coming weeks. Station view is situated at the lower ground floor of the building fronting the new tram stop and platform and provides approximately 5,200 sq ft of new retail accommodation aimed at serving passers-by including shoppers, visitors, workers and commuters.
Town centre footfall is expected to increase even further as regeneration continues including a new civil service hub and university campus being built. The council said around 3,000 workers are set to relocate to the town centre in early 2025, while the multiversity campus will bring thousands of students and staff to the area.
