Mace is to begin work on a £23.8 million shopping outlet expansion project in Cheshire.

The contractor will start building a 40,000 sq ft extension to the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet Shopping Centre later this month. Completion is scheduled for autumn this year.

Features include developing an extra 300 parking spaces, as well as expanding/enhancing a year-round community space. In addition, a new guest welcome centre will be developed along with a children's play area, additional guest toilets and a ‘Changing Places' facility. A new footbridge will also be built to improve access for both guests and staff.


Kenny Murray, Centre Manager at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks, said: "This is an incredibly exciting time for Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet as we embark upon our latest extension to the centre which will see over £40 million invested in expanding and upgrading facilities over the coming year.

"Once complete, visitors will be able to enjoy some 400,000 sq ft. of premium shopping space and an even greater mix of fashion, lifestyle and restaurant brands. We've continued to enhance the brand mix following a strong couple of years, and this latest phase is the next step in creating an even better shopping experience for our local catchment as well as our short and long haul visitors from Europe and beyond."
