Cornmill Shopping Centre in Darlington has announced another new opening as Esquires coffee shop arrives later this month. Esquires will be bringing its signature roast to the heart of Darlington, as the coffee shop will roast its first blend in the centre when it opens its doors in the town for the first time on 31st October.

Esquires joins national Plus Size clothing retailer Yours Clothing which opened at the Cornmill Centre at the end of September, carrying a range of high quality fashionable clothing, available in sizes 16 to 36. Both outlets combine to create 5,500 feet of new retail space at the shopping centre.

Esquires and Yours join the new-look Post Office and M&S Simply Food outlet – both of which opened in the centre late summer following a revamp of the 10,000 sq ft WHSmith store. Shoppers at the Simply Food outlet can buy food during the lunch time rush but also deli items, sweet treats and a selection of M&S meals to enjoy at home. Bakery products and fresh flowers are also available, with customers able to use the post office facilities or buy stationery from WHSmith.

Susan Young, Centre Manager at the Cornmill Centre, said: “We’re delighted with our new openings in the centre, especially as we now offer such a wide range of food and drink options. Our customers have told us how pleased they are we’ve brought M&S food back into the heart of Darlington. We know our customers will also love the new Esquires Coffee Shop, where they can purchase an ethical Fairtrade coffee and choose from an appetizing food menu including an indulgent Full English Breakfast or healthier vegetarian and vegan options featuring fresh local ingredients. We’re also hoping to welcome another retailer very soon – watch this space!”

 

David Charlton, Asset Manager for NewRiver Retail says, “The Cornmill has always had a great location in the heart of the town centre and these new openings join a raft of fabulous stores, many of which are high street favourites such as Primark, Next, or Superdrug. We know the importance of maintaining a strong brand offering for locals and visitors to the centre and we’re proud to confirm we are almost at capacity successfully letting 94% of units. Along with a host of special events held on a regular basis, we’re ensuring the local community knows Cornmill Shopping Centre Darlington is the place to be.”
