Choice Discount Stores has relocated to a new 9,000 sq ft unit at Dockside Chatham as part of an ongoing asset management plan by owners WD Chatham to enhance the scheme’s retail and leisure offer.
A deal has also been agreed with McDonalds to take part of the space being vacated by Choice on the front of Dockside opposite the recently opened Wagamama and Zizzi restaurants. McDonalds has signed a new 25-year lease for approximately 5,000 sq ft.
WD Chatham has reported good interest in the two new units created alongside McDonalds and the landlord is also in advanced discussions to attract new retail brands and some additional experiential leisure activities to the scheme, which is transitioning from its historic outlet focus towards becoming a regional retail and leisure destination.
Anthony Sutton, centre manager at Dockside, said “Both the McDonalds and Choice deals are a real testament to our commitment to Dockside and the broader Chatham Maritime project. We cannot wait to see them open their doors.”
KLM Real Estate and JP Retail advised WD Chatham and NA Surveyors advised McDonalds.
