The Royal Quays shopping centre is hoping to introduce more independent retailers - including first time start-ups - as part of a new scheme to draw in shoppers.
By the end of May, the centre is planning to launch a "marketplace" hosting up to 17 stalls of between 100 sqft and 200 sqft in one of its vacant units, where work is due to start on a conversion.
Manager Matt Dawson has devised the scheme and says he has already received significant interest from potential stallholders, with a handful confirmed as tenants, and he welcomes other enquiries from budding and established small retailers with interesting pitches.
