It has been revealed that Bangor’s Springhill shopping centre is to host a new two story Sports Direct superstore.

Under refurbishment with Lambert Smith Hampton property agent, they will combine Sports Direct and Heaton Sports to make one of the biggest outlets in the town.

As well as Sports Direct, the shopping centre will welcome Subway and Costa and is expected to drive footfall and consumers to Springhill, which currently has around 175,000 visits each month.

Ryan Kee, Lambert Smith Hampton retail director, said: “This park is home to a unique mix of retailers, from fashion, sports and bargain retailers, to well-being outlets and a selection of food offerings. We have secured these tenants on the back of a strong existing line up and plan to work closely with them going forwards to attract new customers to the park.”
