The shopping centre is seeing increased appetite from a diverse mix of occupiers, further reinforcing its position as North Wales’s premier shopping and leisure destination.”

Kevin Adler, business development and acquisitions at EEH Ventures, added: “Wrexham AFC’s owners are not only investing into the club with this latest move, but also into the local community. As the area gains more international recognition, we anticipate greater levels of footfall from both locals and tourists alike, keen to make the most of all that Wrexham has to offer.”
