New stores to open at Rotherham retail park

THE first three stores will be open within weeks at a new retail development in Parkgate.

Aldi, Iceland and Home Bargains are fitting out at the 50,500sq feet site.

Developers Gregory Projects have also secured deals with Pizza Hut and Barnardo’s for the remaining two units, off Great Eastern Way.

The latter phase is expected to be completed in October, with about half of the space already taken up by Formula One Autocentres.

Gregory Projects director Richard Tovey said: “This project has proved to be a major success, where we have managed to pre-let 90 per cent of the space well in advance of completion.”
