Retail park is fully-let in Shrewsbury

Despite the current challenges for the retail sector, Morris Property is bucking the trend after closing a deal to let the last three units covering 15,000 ft², at their Arrow Point Retail Park in Shrewsbury.

Outlex X, which sells High Street furniture brands with savings of up to 80%, welcomed hundreds of shoppers when it opened for the first time. They announced their relocation plans just last month having relocated to Arrow Point from Market Drayton.

Greg Robson, director at UCP, said: “The turnout for our opening has been fantastic and we’re so grateful to our loyal customers. It has been a testing time for everyone and we hope to inspire others in the retail sector with this move and work hard to keep customers visiting stores safely.”

Liz Lowe, head of estates at Morris Property, said: “To be emerging from lockdown with Arrow Point fully let is the shining beacon of hope that the retail sector needs. Outlet X’s offering complements the wealth of brands already here and we are confident that footfall will continue to rise over the coming months."

The letting of the three units was arranged by David Walton of Harris Lamb, who is sole agent for Arrow Point, which is host to a number of well-known names including Tile Choice, Poundstretcher, Charlies Stores, Shropshire Carpets and British Heart Foundation.
