INDEPENDENT TRADERS PUTTING THEIR FAITH IN LCP

Three new stores are opening after a trio of local, independent traders signed leases.

Dixy Chicken will be opening its doors at 5, Timberley Lane, Castle Bromwich, after a franchisee signed a 10-year lease for a 906 sq ft unit, while down the road in Kingstanding, Birmingham, a nail bar is to open after a 10-year lease was signed for 230 Hawthorn Road.

In Salford, dancers will be getting their groove on when Shey Dance Studio opens in Radclyffe Retail Park, after a five-year lease was agreed for 9b Phoebe Street.

Rakesh Joshi, LCP director, said: “It’s great to see ambitious local businesses opening new outlets in their neighbourhoods. These are the backbone of our retail centres and are provide a real sense of vitality to communities, so it is important we support our local traders. We wish them all the best for their future trading success.”
