Tesco Express is opening at Metquarter Liverpool
12 months ago
Metquarter Liverpool has announced that Tesco Express will be opening inside the centre.
The supermarket chain, which will occupy the lower ground floor of the former BOSS unit at the Whitechapel entrance, is another boost for the centre, creating 20 new jobs. Fit out on the 3,413 sqft area will begin this month with the store set to open in Spring.
Over recent years, Metquarter has transformed from a traditional shopping centre into a dynamic mixed use space. The new addition will further complement Metquarter’s existing mix of entertainment, creative arts and premium fashion retailers, offering synergy and convenience for all occupiers and customers.
Metquarter has also welcomed Carvela to the centre. The premium accessories and shoe brand replaces the existing Kurt Geiger unit on the ground floor and will provide another high-end retail option for visitors.
Alex Hyams, Senior Asset and Leasing Manager for Queensberry said:
“We are delighted to welcome Tesco to Metquarter bringing yet another use class into the diverse mix of occupiers we’ve curated during the scheme’s transformation. Since Queensberry bought the asset back in 2016, we have continued to successfully repurpose the building to include a state-of-the-art education campus with over 1400 students and multiple retail and leisure uses including Everyman Cinema and GPO food hall.”
A Tesco spokesperson said:
“We’re excited to be opening a new store in Liverpool and look forward to serving the local community in spring 2024.”
Tesco Express will be open daily from 7am – 11pm.
