Family-owned retailer Boyes is expanding in Newark-on-Trent, relocating to the former Wilko unit in St Marks Place.
The 30,000 sq ft space will allow the brand to offer a wider product range, anchoring the Shopping Centre and enhancing the town’s retail offering and experience.
“This store will be one of the largest in our portfolio, enabling us to showcase our full product range for the people of Newark—something we hope they’ll be pleased with,” said Robert Van Der Heijden, Retail Operations Director at Boyes.
Currently trading from 8,000 sq ft on Appleton Gate, Boyes’ move reflects both growing demand and the retailer’s commitment to Newark. The larger premises will improve the shopping experience, provide greater variety, and better serve the local community.
“We are delighted to see Boyes expanding into this key retail space. Their commitment to Newark is a great sign of confidence in our scheme and in the town’s future,” said David Biggs, Asset Manager at Topland.
“Right-sizing Boyes in the town and re-anchoring St Marks Place is fantastic news—not just for the landlord and adjacent tenants, but for shoppers who will now have access to a fuller retail offering, something they will have missed since losing the much-loved Wilko,” added Jack Shakespeare MRICS, Director at FHP.
“With this move and the visible progress on the former M&S redevelopment by the local council, there’s a real sense of positivity on Newark’s high street.”
The new store is set to open this summer.
