Peel Retail Parks have announced a considerable boost in store openings during the year, with 12 new stores signing on during 2016. These include two Next stores, an M&S Foodhall and several of Iceland’s Food Warehouse stores. The Manchester based company currently has sites in several UK cities such as Corby, Barnsley and Wolverhampton, due to the increase in demand for out-of-town retail centres. Mark Whittaker of Peel Land and Property which owns Peel Retail Parks, stated that the company are “committed to adapting our offering at each park to meet the unique catchment demands within each location”.
