The Broadway has announced three new retailers have signed leases for units at the Bradford shopping centre. Jack & Jones, Muffin Break and Ramsdens will be creating a total of 33 new jobs and have begun fitting out units in the centre.
Taking the total of new leases at the centre in 2022 to seven, The Broadway aims to continue to drive forward negotiations with further new retailers to increase on that figure before the end of the year.
Ian Ward, general manager at The Broadway commented: “As the festive period approaches I’m delighted to announce a host of new retailers that have signed leases and will be open ready for seasonal shopping.
“Notably, The Broadway is continuing to attract new retailers to the city as we welcome Muffin Break and Jack & Jones. Ensuring that The Broadway brings new and exciting retailers to Bradford is a huge priority. As the city gears up for the City of Culture 2025 and with transformational plans underway all over the city now is the time for Bradford to step up and really showcase what a dynamic city it is.”
