Gloucester Quays' strategy of delivering a 'lifestyle-led' destination for its consumers is paying off, says its owner Peel Retail & Leisure, with the outlet recording another significant sales increase across its retail and hospitality brands in the past year.
Sales at the shopping centre were up by six per cent between April 2024 and March 2025, following on from growth of 11 per cent the year before.
Peel says brands that have benefitted in particular are those which have invested in new shop fits; and those which have renewed their leases during that period, including Trespass, Puma, Adidas and The North Face.
Retail sales across the outlet were up by five per cent, with homeware brand Le Creuset, footwear retailer Skechers and outdoor specialist Mountain Warehouse, along with Hallmark, Raging Bull and Holland & Barrett, being examples of those that benefited from increased performance having invested in their stores.
Its hospitality brands enjoyed a seven per cent increase, powered by double-digit growth for both Anatolian Palace and Nando’s, which Peel attributes to consumers enjoying the 'full day-out experience' at the Quays due to its 'unmatched' balance of retail and dining options.
Paul Carter, asset director at Peel Retail & Leisure, said: 'Gloucester Quays has driven sustained growth year-on-year, a legacy that reinforces our long-standing commitment to providing a best-in-class experience.
'We are continuing to adapt to evolving consumer demand for lifestyle-led spaces, something we are uniquely able to deliver as a destination that crosses between both city centre convenience and aspirational outlet.
'With recently reinvested brands topping the books for
growth alongside our new additions, the success of our tried and tested strategy
for delivering this speaks for itself.'
