“The new Enterprise Arcade has been open for six months and many of the businesses which started life in the Enterprise Arcade have now gone on to their own Town Centre units and are flourishing. We are now looking for new businesses to come forward. With the support from B-Supplied this low cost, low risk option really is the perfect place for fledging retailers to test the local market.”
