One of the Thames Valley’s leading retail, F&B, and leisure destinations has added a range of high-profile occupiers to its diverse tenant mix.
The Lexicon, owned by a joint venture between Schroders Capital UK Real Estate Fund (SCREF) and Legal & General Capital, has secured new lettings to Giggling Squid, Søstrene Grene, Robert Dyas, Five Guys, ChopStix, German Doner Kebab, Tortilla and Mr Simms who have taken a combined 23,500sq ft of retail and F&B space at the Bracknell-based destination.
This strong leasing activity highlights continued strong demand for well-placed units within popular retail and leisure destinations, with the centre now 94 per cent let by floor area.
Leading the new arrivals is popular Thai eatery Giggling Squid who opened a new 4,750sq ft outlet earlier this summer, adding to The Lexicon’s renowned F&B offering. The Lexicon has also welcomed growing Danish retail chain Søstrene Grene and well-known home store Robert Dyas. Both are occupying units on Braccan Walk with Søstrene Grene taking 6,000sq ft of space. Søstrene Grene’s new, unique store concept ‘Retail for the Senses’ offers a wide assortment within home interiors, furniture, hobby items, kitchen supplies, children’s toys, specialty food and candy, gift-wrapping, and party supplies. Each week, all Søstrene Grene shops receive a wealth of new, exciting products, and some are only sold for limited periods. Meanwhile, Robert Dyas, which opened at the end of August, occupies a 4,000sq ft unit providing shoppers with a range of housewares, small electrical appliances, gardening products, kitchenware, DIY, and consumer electronics.
