National optometrist chain Specsavers is opening a new store at Merseyway shopping centre in Stockport after agreeing a ten-year lease.
The company will pay an annual rent of £110,000 for the two-floor premises with floor space totalling 4,522 sq ft.
It will be the third national optometrist to open at the 300,000 sq ft Merseyway and the centre is now approaching full capacity with four of the remaining seven units either with solicitors or under negotiation.
Mark Rawstron, senior director of Merseyway’s property agent GVA, said: “This news has long been anticipated so it’s great that we are finally able to announce it.
“Specsavers is keen to deliver a larger store with a greater number of services to people in Stockport and the unit at Merseyway offered the space required.
“We’re hoping that the store will be open to our customers in time for the busy Christmas period and are expecting to have further good news about other new retailers taking space at Merseyway before the year is out.”
