CBRE Investment Management has announced Primark, the multinational fashion retailer, is set to join the Ashley Centre, Epsom’s premier shopping destination. This coincides with the centre undergoing €8.19m refurbishment, which is set to see significant upgrades to the scheme, including a refreshed interior and a new external entrance.
Primark will occupy 4,087m2 in the former House of Fraser space, utilising two floors and sitting adjacent to the scheme’s central square near retailers such as JD. Serving as the destination’s anchor tenant, the new store will feature Primark’s full offer, incorporating menswear, womenswear and childrenswear, as well as accessories, beauty, home, and lifestyle. The store is expected to create around 100 jobs and is set to open in early 2025.
Louisa Butters, Head of Retail Asset Management UK at CBRE IM, commented: “Primark’s signing is a significant moment for the Ashley Centre. The opening will mark another milestone in our repositioning project that underpins our long-term strategy for the revitalisation of the Ashley Centre, ensuring that it continues to serve the needs of the community in every way possible. We look forward to delivering an optimized and enhanced experience and environment for our visitors and reap the benefits of our large-scale refurbishment.”
Philippa Nibbs, Director of Sales UK, London and the South East at Primark, also said: “As we continue to invest in the UK high street, we are delighted to announce our new store in Epsom that will open next year. We look forward to becoming a part of this community and playing a central role in the refurbished Ashley Centre.”
