North East outlet centre sees surge in retail and F&B sales
Dalton Park Outlet, the outlet shopping destination in Seaham, County Durham, has reported a surge in sales across the centre.
The scheme – which is asset managed by Global Mutual – has recorded an increase in total transactions of 19.8% since January, with food and beverage sales up by 9.4%.
Key contributors to the F&B growth include brands such as Costa Coffee, Greggs, Etto Caffé, and Bakers + Baristas, all of which have seen an uplift in sales.
The outlet centre has also looked to support local businesses as part of its food and leisure offering. North-East-owned independent burrito bar Zapatista joined Dalton Park Outlet’s dining options earlier this year, whilst the recent launch of minigolf experience The Hole in Wand has diversified the centre’s family appeal.
Retailers at the outlet centre include the likes of Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger, Marks & Spencer and Le Creuset.
Nicky Lovell, head of outlets and business development at Global Mutual, said: “We’re delighted to see such a strong performance across the board at Dalton Park Outlet. This year, we’ve invested time and money into ensuring our new openings across both retail and leisure meet with what our visitors are looking for.
“Our considered leasing approach strategically blends local brands with a broad mix of designer and high street names in a beautiful parkland setting, making Dalton Park Outlet a unique outlet shopping destination.”
