The owner of the Five Valleys shopping centre in Gloucestershire has said the retail hub is close to full occupation after “a raft” of new businesses opened there.
Developer Dransfield Properties, which has invested around £30m to regenerate the complex in Stroud town centre, said it had supported the arrival of six start-up businesses, with “more announcements soon to come” at the centre’s one remaining unit.
The firm said Five Valley’s independent department store, Sandersons Boutique, had introduced a number of new boutique designer ranges to its store over the last year, including ladies’ wear brands Grace & Mila, Pretty Lavish and FRNCH, adding to listings agreed with other international fashion firms such as Levi’s, Barbour and Gloucestershire-based Superdry.
