Finnish leisure concept to make UK debut at Braehead

Indoor leisure and recreation concept SuperPark is set to make its UK debut at Braehead Shopping Centre in Glasgow.

The operator will open a 30,000 sq ft space early next year, offering 40 attractions, including challenges, sporting games, and freestyle activities.

Founded in Finland, SuperPark operates in 26 parks worldwide across Finland, the Middle East, Asia and Australia.

This marks the first major signing at the scheme since the announcement of Braehead Ambition, an initiative which has brought together the asset management, leasing, operational and marketing of Braehead Shopping Centre, Braehead Arena and Xsite.

Huw Kmiot, associate director of asset management at Pradera Lateral, said: “The arrival of SuperPark is a major milestone for Braehead, reflecting both its strong trading performance and the continued confidence brands have that they will out-perform here.  SuperPark’s debut at Braehead underlines the destination’s reputation as a place that delivers results and actively responds to growing consumer demand for immersive, experience-led leisure.”

Braehead is asset managed by Pradera Lateral, and its leasing agents are LM (formerly Lunson Mitchenall) and Savills. SuperPark was represented by Savills.
