Borders is to open its first out-of-town bookstore in a 1,858 sq m (20,000 sq ft) unit at THI’s Cheshire Oaks leisure park.
The retailer will open a Borders Books Music Café store in the Coliseum at Cheshire Oaks which is due to be completed next March. The scheme – next door to BAA McArthur Glen’s factory outlet centre – will have 17,651 sq m (190,000 sq ft) of leisure floorspace and feature a 16-screen Warner Village cinema.
Richard Joseph, chairman of Borders (UK), said: “We believe our style of retailing is ideally suited to this type of development.”
Borders (UK) already has three stores in London, Brighton and Glasgow. It will open a fourth in Leeds next month and will open further outlets in York, Cambridge, Oxford, Reading, and on London’s Charing Cross Road.
Reid Rose Gregory and Jones Lang LaSalle advise Borders. Letting agents at the Coliseum are Churston Heard and Lunson Mitchenall.
