Castle Quarter – Norwich’s leading social, leisure and lifestyle destination – has strengthened its retail and beauty offer with three new store openings at the scheme.
Following the success of its first store, beauty and skincare salon Charisma has expanded its presence at Castle Quarter with the opening of a second outlet at the scheme. Charisma has signed a new 15-year lease for a 1,544 store at 14 Timber Hill.
Also opening is Maneki Market, which specialises in Japanese games, collectables, pop culture merchandise and ‘J-fashion’. It has taken the 1,131 sq ft unit 93 for an initial six months. In addition, Keiko – a specialist in Japan-inspired ‘blind boxed’ of miniature figurines – has taken the 792 sq ft unit nine on level one of the scheme.
The openings further boost the occupier line-up at Castle Quarter, which has retained its traditional retail strength while repositioning towards social, leisure and lifestyle operators. Charisma and Keiko join major retail brands including Boots, Flying Tiger, TK Maxx, Trespass and The Entertainer, alongside competitive socialising operators including Boom Battle Bar and Escape Hunt.
Mark Harvey, Head of Asset Management at RivingtonHark, said: “Castle Quarter’s great strength is the diversity of its offer, something that is given a significant boost by these commitments from Charisma, Maneki Market and Keiko. Their choice of Castle Quarter highlights the scheme’s continued position as Norwich’s leading social, leisure and lifestyle destination, and underlines the success of a strategy that focuses on delivering as wide a choice as possible to drive significant benefits for occupiers and visitors alike.”
Castle Quarter is a unique destination offering visitors a range of social, leisure and lifestyle experiences. Totalling 385,000 sq ft of space and incorporating one of the city centre’s main car parks, with 791 spaces, Castle Quarter offers unrivalled options for people to enjoy themselves.
Roche and Jamieson Mills are the retained agents on Castle Quarter.
