He then states that he plans to close the facility at the Brunswick Centre in Scarborough, as he disagreed with the centre's redevelopment as a cinema and a long-term lease with the current owner.
The retailer has applied for permission to expand the facility to Seamer Road, which already operates its “home” store.
Scarborough Group International (SGI) purchased the “almost vacant” Brunswick Centre in 2021 as part of a multi-million pound plan to convert the 1990s centre into a leisure destination, and an anchor cinema operator Odeon was announced as.
He then said he was “eager to continue trading within Scarborough,” but for the development of the film, he would “reach an agreement (with SGI) to provide medium- or long-term occupation of the future unit. I couldn't do that.”
If the plan is approved by the planning authority, it will then expand to the vacant unit “3B” adjacent to the existing home store on Seamer Road.
The proposal includes the creation of an internal mezzanine of approximately 300 square meters. It is used for both trading and inventory purposes and is compatible with sales areas.
The application also asks for permission to make external changes to storefronts, allowing fashion ranges to be sold from existing Seamer Road premises.
The plan submitted to the council says that the integration of the next offer in Scarborough into a single location will allow the company to maintain its long-term presence in the town.
The retailer said the Brunswick Centre facility is on a “rolling lease with a three-month notice of termination,” and the centre owners “hope to provide immediate notifications to advance the redevelopment plan.” “It's.”
Last September, North Yorkshire Council approved up to £350,000 for a survey examining the future of the shopping centre after the fact-finding visit was now “a slightly sad part of Scarborough.”
Officials said they would increase footsteps in the town centre and “hope to encourage people to visit Scarborough more frequently and enjoy better leisure facilities.”
The North Yorkshire Council has not set a date to determine the planning application currently under consideration.
