Springfields Outlet and Leisure Reports Higher Spend Than Last Year, Post Lockdown

August 4, 2020

Springfields Outlet

  • Springfields last week recorded trading results up 2% on the same week last year
  • Results are a remarkable achievement for the UK retail sector
  • Footfall and sales have grown every week post-lockdown
  • This is on top of 15 years continuous growth since Springfields opened

 

Since reopening to the public on June 15th Springfields Outlet and Leisure in Lincolnshire has once again demonstrated its resilience. When comparing last week’s trading (week 30) with the same period in 2019, sales were up 2% from the 96% of stores reopened. 56% of like-for-like stores traded positively and 80% of those reported double digit percentage increases. Footfall and sales have grown strongly every week for the six continuous weeks post- lockdown. This is a remarkable achievement for the UK retail sector.

Set in 25 acres of beautiful gardens

Springfields award-winning gardens and leisure have also reopened, and the combined outlet and leisure offering has attracted back existing and new customers to this popular destination.

Strong brand presence

The ongoing opening of new higher-profile brands continues with Dune London opening later in the Summer with a high spec fit-out, joining brands like Radley, Joules, Jack Wills and Crew Clothing. This has all translated into high quality turnover with spend per visitor increasing by 11% year on year. Fashion, beauty, home and garden are all performing particularly well.

Ian Sanderson, Director at SLR which developed, and asset manages the scheme, said: “This is another great milestone at Springfields which was designed to be different some 16 years ago. The scheme has attracted visitors back strongly as we’re able to offer an appealing and spacious environment. This positive customer response, reflected by outstanding annual growth in the post lockdown environment, shows that shoppers are keen to return and fully enjoy the experience at Springfields Outlet and Leisure.”

Friday July 24th it became compulsory for customers to wear a face covering and this has been adopted easily by customers and stores alike. This is in addition to the excellent new movement arrangements in and around the stores, mall and gardens, which have been put in place swiftly and positively from reopening. Springfields has also enhanced the guest experience by adding a UK-first, Ubitrac PPE Outlet, with high quality PPE which is always offered to the NHS first, as their priority customer.

Highly appealing destination

Boasting more than 50 stores set in beautiful and award-winning, 25-acre Festival Gardens, the spacious outdoor destination is very well suited to our new retail norms, whilst providing an exceptional guest experience. Springfields attracts customers from a very wide catchment area from the Home Counties north of London, East Anglia and the East of England up to South Yorkshire, making this destination a popular day out. The green healthy space means customers stay longer and return more often, attracted by the safe shopping experience.

Springfields Outlet

These positive trading figures demonstrate the appeal of the destination’s increasingly attractive retail line-up. Springfields Outlet offers top retail brands such as M&S, Gap, White Stuff, Next, Skechers and Ernest Jones, giving plenty of choice for customers at up to 60 per cent off RRP throughout the year. This is complemented by the leading, premium Blue Diamond Home and Garden centre, children’s Adventure Land and extensive F&B.

Research by Ken Gunn Consulting shows that Springfields Outlet has the third highest market potential sales density of any outlet in the UK. Located in south Lincolnshire, the 45-acre retail and leisure scheme is on the junction of the A16 and A151, close to the junction with the A17, three major arterial roads providing easy access to Peterborough, Stamford, Nottingham, Lincoln and Kings Lynn. Springfields is just a 25-minute drive from the A1.

YORKSHIRE RETAIL OUTLET SCHEME WINS PRE-LETS FOR 50% OF SPACE

February 27, 2020

THE DEVELOPER OF A NEW RETAIL OUTLET SCHEME IN YORKSHIRE HAS REVEALED PLANS FOR THE FIRST £90M PHASE AND SIGNED UP HALF THE AVAILABLE RETAIL SPACE AHEAD OF ITS OPENING NEXT YEAR

Plans to build the leading outlet shopping and leisure destination in the North of England, Scotch Corner Designer Village, have been unveiled.  £90 million is being invested in Phase One which will comprise 92 retail and dining units across 250,000 sq ft.  The first 23 brands to sign-up include BOSS, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Adidas, Levi’s, Mint Velvet, Joules, Gap and Skechers. Located at Junction 53 of the A1(M), the scheme will be one of the most accessible retail and leisure destinations in the UK. Passed by more than 28.9m vehicles each year and with a wide catchment of 3.8m residents within a 60-minute drive time, annual footfall is expected to be over 4.

Plans for a second phase are expected to be submitted in the next six months and may include more retail and leisure space, a garden centre and a hotel.

Simon Waterfield, developer and co-owner of Scotch Corner Richmond, told Property Week that outlet villages had largely avoided the woes of high street retail.

“In the last five years, outlets have performed at 10 times the sales growth of standard centres,” he said. “Outlet model leases are base rent related with a turnover top-up. Base rents are kept at a sensible level and with the footfall we will attract, retailers do well in turnover, so we do well in rent.”

Waterfield added: “With no other major outlets centres within a 60-minute drive, and local towns providing a lower-priced fashion offer, we feel confident we will add to the appeal and prosperity of the region.”

Enabling and infrastructure works are under way at the site.

SPACE – Retail Property Consultants has been appointed by Scotch Corner Designer Village as sole leasing agent for Scotch Corner Designer Village.

Ian Sanderson of SLR Outlets, who operate Springfields Outlet, said “Springfields has gone from strength to strength since opening over 15 years ago and I am proud that we can lead on this significant investment into Spalding.

“New high-quality retail and leisure space at Springfields Outlet will improve our offer to customers, cement our position as the leading shopping and leisure destination in the east of England, and create a large number of new jobs for local people.

Over many years, Springfields Outlet has invested heavily in new technology and innovative ways of advertising and promoting Springfields and the town.

“This planning application gives us a renewed opportunity to work with the council and traders to promote the town centre and a wider area”.

A decision is expected to be made by the council in the summer.

Across the calendar year of 219 the scheme delivered a total revenue of +2% YoY with footfall increasing by the same amount.  This follows a record-breaking Black Friday week in which the centre achieved its highest ever weekly take; with individual retailers trading up to +5% on a life-for like basis.  The positive results are in stark contrast to the most recent industry stats which show that footfall declined by -4% in the post-Christmas sales, according to Springboard.

The retail results were boosted by a regular and varied programme of seasonal consumer activities including Wonderland Walk, a free immersive light experience set in the onsite Festival Gardens, a Christmas Grotto, and an ongoing VIP Programme and app with exclusive offers and competitions.

Ian Sanderson, Director at SLR which developed and asset manages the scheme, said: “We’re proud to have achieved 15 years of consecutive turnover growth, especially within the existing retail climate.  Our integrated leisure offer has helped to really support our positioning as a destination.  This has been supported further by the array of family-friendly seasonal activities over the past six weeks and further technical developments of our Springfields VIP app.  All of which has helped us to stand-out as the destination of choice for the location catchment and provide a memorable Christmas experience that has been reflected in the strong footfall and trading stats.”

 

Owned by the Triton Property Fund and managed by UBS, Springfields is a 200,000 sq ft scheme with 25 acres of leisure attractions set within beautiful award-winning landscaped gardens.  According to research by Savills, schemes need to offer something more than price point alone, with browsing and leisure elements key drivers for the overall experience.  Indeed, some 33.6% of shoppers consider leisure facilities to be more important at outlet retail brands such as Crew Clothing, Joules, Gap, TM Lewin, Radley, The Cosmetics Company Store, Skechers and M&S, the line up is complemented by integrated leisure offer Adventure Land, which includes the UK’s largest JCB Young Drivers Zone, and line-up of cafes and casual dining restaurants.
