Mike Ashley's Frasers Group<\/a><\/span> has purchased The Mall in Luton for \u00a358 million, further demonstrating its \"ongoing investment and commitment to the long-term future of physical retail\".<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Spanning 900,000 sq ft, The Mall in Luton is home brands including Primark<\/a><\/span>, H&M<\/a><\/span>, TK Maxx<\/a>,<\/span> Boots <\/a><\/span>and The Body Shop<\/a><\/span>. The shopping centre was put up for sale by Capital & Regional last year.<\/p>\n

Frasers Group, which owns Sports Direct and House of Fraser, has said the destination provides \"attractive opportunities\" for it to introduce elevated store concepts and invest in the centre.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the group acknowledged\u00a0the \"importance that the centre plays within the community and looks forward to working with Luton Borough Council to stabilise and elevate the scheme\". It also said that Frasers will ensure the destination remains a \"key retail location\".<\/p>\n

James France, Group Head of Real Estate at Frasers Group, commented: \"Frasers Group is pleased to have acquired The Mall in Luton.<\/p>\n

\"We continue to have confidence in the future of the UK high street and remain committed to investing in sites which display huge potential. We look forward to engaging with tenants in the centre to ensure a smooth transition.\"<\/p>\n

The move follows a number of acquisitions by Frasers Group over the last year.\u00a0Most recently, Frasers acquired a variety of<\/a>\u00a0\"non-core UK fashion brands\"<\/a><\/span>, including Giulio, Tessuti and Cricket, from JD Sports.<\/p>\n

Prior to this, the group purchased Savile Row tailor Gieves & Hawkes<\/a><\/span>, Australian luxury footwear brand Sneakerboy<\/a><\/span>, and fast fashion brands I Saw It First<\/a><\/span> and Missguided<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
