Yorkshire’s Junction 32 outlet centre sees record-breaking first half of 2025

Junction 32, the outlet shopping destination in Castleford, Yorkshire, has recorded its best-ever H1 to date, achieving its highest turnover since it opened in 1999.
This achievement comes as both sales and footfall have continued to grow year-on-year at the destination. Sales from January to June 2025 rose by 8% compared to the same period in 2024.
This increase in sales was supported by strong performance across a number of categories, with health and beauty sales up by 8% compared to H1 of 2024. Additionally, menswear saw a 6% increase compared to 2024, while gifts and confectionery grew by 5% year-on-year in the first half of 2025.
Rachel Scott, head of leasing at Junction 32, said: “We’re incredibly proud to see Junction 32 deliver its strongest first-half performance in over two decades. This milestone result is testament not only to the strength of our retail mix, but also to the collaborative efforts of our leasing and operational teams. With a partnership-focused approach in place, we’re excited to build on this momentum in the months ahead.”
