Merry Hill has been named as one of the UK’s top ten retail and leisure destinations after a ‘landmark’ 12 months which saw over 9% more visitors than in 2022.

65 new brands signed, or reconfirmed, their commitment to the centre with 30 new stores opening their doors.

Following on from the host of well-known brands that have invested in the centre over the last year, more is still to come in 2024, when XF Gym, Harvey Norman and Wingstop arrive. Jonathan Poole, Centre Manager at Merry Hill, said:

"The past 12 months have been hugely successful for Merry Hill as we continue to see brands invest and thrive at the centre.

“We’re taking the centre experience to the next level for our visitors by bringing them exciting new additions across fashion, food and drink, and leisure, while delivering hours and hours of entertainment – which have been a huge hit.

“The quality of the brands coming to Merry Hill has been made possible by the hard work of our teams and retailers.  It’s been a pleasure to see how well received these new openings have been across the centre – leading to an increase in footfall and the continued success of our new and existing retailers, growing sales year-on-year.

“We are constantly striving to enhance every aspect of the centre for customers of all ages and interests, with more exciting additions and announcements coming throughout 2024.”
