WD Chatham has signed deals to relocate Choice Discount Stores to a new unit and bring McDonald’s in as a replacement at its Dockside Outlet Centre in Chatham, Kent.
McDonald’s has taken 5,000 sq ft vacated by Choice on a new 25-year lease opposite the recently opened Wagamama and Zizzi restaurants.
Choice, a long-standing tenant at Dockside, has agreed to a new 9,000 sq ft shop adjacent to the anchor tenant, The Range, for 10 years.
In addition to McDonald’s, two new units are being developed, with leasing negotiations under way.
The landlord is also in advanced discussions to bring more retail brands and leisure operators to the centre.
WD acquired the 162,998 sq ft centre in 2015 for £9m.
Anthony Sutton, centre manager at Dockside, said: “Both the McDonald’s and Choice deals are a real testament to our commitment to Dockside and the broader Chatham Maritime project. We cannot wait to see them open their doors.”
