THE ARMY SHOP TO OPEN IN THE GALLERIES, SUNDERLAND

A new independent shop that sells outdoor clothing, military clothing and memorabilia is to open at The Galleries, Sunderland.

The Army Shop signed a lease for unit 5 within 24 hours of LCP acquiring the major shopping centre last month (January 2022).

The 1,089 sq ft shop has recently opened and sells a range of goods, such as outdoor clothing, camping equipment, work clothing and new and military clothing and replica military equipment and memorabilia.

Simon Eatough, asset manager at LCP, said: “We’re pleased to have completed our first lease deal very quickly after acquiring The Galleries to a local, independent trader. We’ve exciting plans for the shopping centre and look forward to unveiling new tenants here over the next few months.”

Amy James, of LCP’s in-house legal team, completed the transaction.
