Just found my old Wranglers down the back of the linen basket. Washed, ironed and now back in the draw with the rest. Is this also Jeans reunited?

Does anybody know what is happening to the empty shops that are now appearing on Church Street as they move into shiny new pads in the Liverpool One development. Zara has closed and moved as has Gap. Will there be more?

[buggedboy]

As Grosvenor havew signed a legal agreement to find tenants for any vacated premises I wouldnt be too worried in the long term.

Of those I know about...

Gap - Taken by HSBC

Zara - To be taken by Ark

WHSmith - moving to SJS

River Island - Move to WHSmith existing site.

H & M - retain Church st and expand down to take up the soon to be vacated River Island

Jane Norman and the jewellers at the corners of M & S - to be taken up by M & S as part of the expansion.


The only vacated unit cause by Liverpool One that I don't know about is the Disney Store. I'll keep an ear to the ground.

As to the long term fate of Church St, it should be fine.

Well done buggedboy.

[Kev]

great, i was gonna put an idea forward about changing the use of the church street area, maybe putting the buildings into different use, hotels, bars etc

church street could be the next mathew street

[lindylou]

Thanks for the info Buggedboy.

That's interesting, and something I hadn't heard of before, but I don't understand how it would work.
I know Grosvenor own Liverpool One, but surely businesses are free to come and go as they please without the 'paternal' influence of Grosvenor.

I've been to Warrington recently, and its traditional shopping streets have lots of empty shops because of Golden Square (which itself has lots of empty units).
