NEW DEPARTMENT STORE FOR BLACKPOOL

A new Frasers department store has opened in the Houndshill Shopping Centre.
Opened in partnership with Blackpool Council, owners of the shopping centre, it brings together a range of exciting brands, including Frasers, Flannels, Sports Direct, Game, and Evans Cycles, all under one roof.
Since it acquired the Houndshill in 2019, the Council has been working hard to support the town’s post-pandemic recovery and turn the shopping centre into a key driver for the regeneration of the town centre.
Blackpool is undergoing a significant transformation with a £2bn Growth and Prosperity Programme of investment and one of the most crucial developments was the re-letting of the former Debenhams store.
As of July 2023, only 39% of the former Debenhams vacant stores around the country have been successfully re-let, making this partnership a remarkable achievement for Blackpool and a significant milestone at national level.
