These first stores will be joined over the coming months by a long list of beauty and fashion stores, including Primark, Urban Decay, Bravissimo, men’s fashion brands Frencheye and Emperor and Chinese fashion brand Urbano Revivo - launching its first store outside Asia.
The extension will also have a Japanese Food Hall Ichiba, boutique bowing venue All Star Lanes and a new indoor minigolf gaming centre plus bar and restaurant called Puttshack. Puttshack will launch within the new development and both applications for jobs and bookings are now open at its website.
FirstLight Cycle meanwhile, will open in May providing the UK’s largest boutique cycling studio.
Westfield says that adding its extension has also allowed some stores currently based in the existing centre to move to bigger spaces in the new extension.
