The core retail centre in Cheltenham is compact and comprises the High Street, together with a
number of streets running perpendicular from it, principally Promenade and Regent Street.
Cheltenham ranks strongly on the basis of its retail offer (29th based on PMA) with major multiples
including M&S, TK Maxx, Next, River Island, and H&M. There is also significant representation from
aspirational fashion retailers reflecting the demographic profile including Reiss, Radley, Karen Millen,
The White Company and Hobbs.
A £23 million redevelopment of the former Beechwood Shopping Centre saw John Lewis opening a
new 115,000 sq ft store in October 2018. This addition has dramatically enhanced Cheltenham’s retail
offer, enabling it to attract shoppers from further afield and considerably strengthening the eastern
end of High Street.

THE JOHN LEWIS EFFECT
We expect that the John Lewis opening will have a positive impact on Zone A rents in the town and
the subject pitch in the medium term, particularly when considering alongside rents in other John
Lewis locations:

The property is situated on the pedestrianised eastern end of High Street, the town’s
principal retail thoroughfare. The subject pitch has been strengthened with the addition of
a 115,000 sq ft John Lewis store, as well as from a £1 million street-landscaping initiative
by the Council, improving the amenity offering at the eastern end of the High Street.
