'National brands' are headed to units in a busy seaside town which have been empty for years.
The Grosvenor Casino at Marine Point in New Brighton, Wirral, opening in May 2012 creating 66 full and part time jobs and was hailed as an example of the top brands the resort’s development could attract. But the venue closed in July 2015 and since then no other retailer or business has occupied the space.
Last year, Marine Point, which is home to a Starbucks, Costa, Iceland, Home Bargains, Hungry Horse and a cinema, was sold by Aprirose for £44m. David Samuel Properties snapped up the 234,615 sqft development which also includes a Subway, Morrisons and a 66-bed Travelodge.
