The Entertainer to join Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds
Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds, formerly Junction 32, is set to welcome the arrival of The Entertainer, the UK’s largest independent toy retailer.
The retailer will open a 2,498 sq ft store this summer, offering a range of toys, games, and children’s entertainment products.
The addition of The Entertainer aligns with Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds’ strategy to strengthen its family-focused offer, while enhancing its appeal as a day-out destination. The centre offers a range of family-friendly experiences, including a carousel and outdoor play park, and is home to retailers such as Sweet Emporium.
The Entertainer is currently experiencing significant momentum, with UK retail sales increasing by over 20% in the last twelve months, as it continues to invest in its physical store portfolio and expand into high-performing locations nationwide.
Rachel Scott, head of leasing at Global Mutual, said: “We’re pleased to be welcoming The Entertainer to Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds, with the support of McMullen Real Estate who acted as our joint agents. As a well-known and much-loved brand, it represents a strong addition to our retail mix and supports our vision to continue evolving the centre as a destination where visitors can enjoy more than just shopping. From a diverse line-up of brands to family-friendly experiences across the scheme, we’re focused on creating an engaging environment that encourages people to spend more time with us and return again.”
Andrew Murphy OBE, CEO at The TEAL Group, which owns The Entertainer, added: “Opening at Frasers Plus Designer Outlet Leeds, with the support of Vedra Property Group, marks an exciting opportunity for The Entertainer as we continue to expand our UK store portfolio within high-performing destinations. With its strong retail mix and appeal as a day-out destination, it provides the ideal setting to showcase our brilliant range of products and deliver great value to customers.”
