dutch   68 #133 Posted October 14, 2018 Oak furniture land are supposed to be opening there.  Still nothing there, looks like ghost town on that corner.  I thought that corner was a valuable location now according to their greedy owners?

It’s strange as where Ikea has opened in other places the retail units fill quite quick. Don’t know why sheffield is so different. Last chat he had they still did not have the keys back for Beta Living unit. It’s been shut for ages. The plan was to make the units in to smaller ones to make them more appealing. As I say he has another job. In my opinion the owners were just say what the retailers want to her! They can’t be that desperate to fill the units or they would pull out all the stops to get them filled. They would sort the road out and make it easier to get in and out. Mind you they must be on a good thing letting Ikea staff park in the car park lol. Makes you think there is a longer picture in play. Develop the land in to something else?

Meadowhall is more visible from inside ikea than that poor retailpark. That Aldi was very successfull and usefull considering its location near cineworld and meadowhall it atracted more people to reatail park than ikea ever has.

Wonder if the one at Drakehouse that replaced it is doing as much business? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
