Coming Soon to Hanley?

Christmas is but a distant memory (if you can forget the office party… please forget the office party) time to look forward to the New Year, but what have we to look forward to?

Realis hope to make a announcement in January in respect to the new Tenants that have signed up for City Sentral.  Who could they be? Only one way to find out if you can’t wait, E-mail some retailers.

So I sent this email to

YO Sushi, H&M, Nandos, Krispy Kreme, CULT, FatFace, Zara, Giraffe, Wagamama, Cafe Rouge, Hotel Chocolat, AX Paris, Allsaints, Banana Republic, BANK, Boux Avenue, Jigsaw, House of Fraser, Henri Lloyd, Dune, G-Star, Abercrombie, Jane Norman, Kuyichi, Lipsy

When will Stoke on Trent get a ****** store, we have two new development centres one an expansion of the existing Potteries Shopping Centre and a Brand new £350million shopping precinct City Sentral. Have you yet expressed an interest in either development?

Only had few replies so far, some the to be expected noncommittal other more direct and honest
