Trio of Meadowhall tenants sign for 42,000 sq ft of upsizes

Meadowhall in Sheffield has completed a trio of deals, with JD Sports, Superdrug, and Ann Summers upsizing their stores to a combined 42,278 sq ft of space.

Nearly trebling its presence at the shopping centre, JD Sports is taking five adjacent units to create a 29,225 sq ft store, its largest in the region and second-largest in the country.

Opening in 2026, the new store will feature a 63 metre frontage, dedicated brand and product areas, and in-store activations.

Meanwhile, Superdrug is relocating on Meadowhall’s Lower Level High Street and is set to open one of its largest stores in the country in late May. The 10,199 sq ft store will feature beauty products alongside treatments such as ear piercing, manicures, and eyebrow threading.

Ann Summers will also be upsizing to a unit on the scheme’s Lower Level High Street, with the 2,854 sq ft store set to offer an improved store design and a wider range of products.

Richard Crowther, retail leasing director at British Land, asset manager of Meadowhall, said: “Meadowhall continues to attract strategic investment from leading national and international brands. JD, Superdrug, and Ann Summers are the latest tenants to recommit to the destination, following 26 retailers that invested over £30m in their stores in the last 12 months. These substantial lease agreements will only elevate Meadowhall’s Lower High Street, as part of a centre that really dominates its region.”

This announcement follows the news that Sephora has selected Meadowhall to open its first store in Yorkshire.
