As Westfield Shoppingtowns progresses its plans to double the size of Swindon's Brunel Shopping Centre, a significant number of new retailers have been attracted to the Brunel Centre, the size of which is being doubled.

Alder King and Dalgleish & Co, joint marketing agents for the existing scheme, report that Just Add Water has recently combined five units in The Arcade to create its flagship store of 4,700 sq ft and early trading levels are reported to exceed all expectations.

Cardfair, the multiple card retailer that operates some 130 stores nationwide has opened at 36 The Arcade, while other new retailers include Crystals, Ash and Wendy House.

Nigel Gibbons, Retail Agency Partner at Alder King commented:

"In addition to these new occupiers, a number of other new lettings are in solicitors hands.

"The marketing campaign proves that Swindon remains a popular retail destination and we are working closely with Westfield to maximise the potential of the Brunel Centre.

"We have a number of exciting new initiatives underway to both extend and improve the current tenant line-up."
