Hays Travel is set to make a major move at Manor Walks Shopping and Leisure, relocating to a new store almost twice the size of its current unit.
The popular travel retailer will move from its existing 1,193 sq ft store into a much larger 2,286 sq ft unit in a prime central position at the heart of the centre.
The move will give Hays Travel significantly more space, increased visibility and a stronger presence at Manor Walks, marking an exciting new chapter for the long-standing retailer.
As one of the UK’s best known travel brands, Hays Travel has been a familiar name at Manor Walks for many years, and the expansion represents a significant investment in its Cramlington store.
Lee Farrier, Head of Commercial and Workspace at Advance Northumberland, said:
“Hays Travel’s expansion into a significantly larger store is exactly the kind of investment we want to encourage at Manor Walks. Our focus is not simply on bringing new names to the centre but creating the right environment for successful existing retailers to invest, expand and strengthen their presence here.
“This move is a strong example of that strategy in action and supports our wider ambition to continually evolve the retail mix and strengthen Manor Walks as a destination.”
The new Hays Travel store is expected to open later this year with further details to follow.
