<\/p>\nJD Sports has opened the doors on its latest store at Bloomfield Shopping Centre in Bangor, adding to a number of new additions to the scheme in recent months.<\/p>\n
Leading commercial property agents Lisney and Savills acted for centre owners Ellandi, the UK\u2019s leading specialist shopping centre investor, in the deal.<\/p>\n
The sports retailer has taken a prime 3,600 sq ft unit at the entrance to the main mall adjacent to the newly-opened Superdrug.<\/p>\n
JD Sports\u2019 arrival helps grow the impressive portfolio of retailers at Bloomfield, acquired by Ellandi in early 2016, which includes M&S, Tesco, Next, H&M, Mothercare and River Island.<\/p>\n
