Ski ‘lift’ for specialist retailers
Work starts this month on the £31 million Chill Factor – the North West’s first indoor real snow Alpine village.
The 250,000 sq ft (23,225 sq m) venue is set to offer retailers opportunities in one of the most powerful catchment areas in the country – the Greater Manchester and North Cheshire conurbation. Terms are currently being finalised with a number of retailers, including a 10,000 sq ft mountain and snowsports flagship store and a state of the art skateboard park adjoining the village.
Brett Chambers, letting agent for Chill Factor, said: "This venue really will offer some of the most exceptional retail, bar and restaurant opportunities in the country. It is the only concept of its type in the whole of the North West and it is located next to one of the country’s most successful shopping and leisure complexes, with 30m visitors a year. I doubt whether there’s a better location anywhere in the UK."
David Sterland, Chill Factore’s Managing Director, said: "At Chill Factore retailers have a rare opportunity to do business in a powerful location with a dynamic catchment area that allows them to tap into more than £10 billion of potential retail expenditure within a 45-minute drive.
"We are creating a venue which will delight our visitors with the exhilaration and fun on the slopes and the style and buzz of the Alpine street, encouraging them to stay longer and return time and time again."
Chill Factor is due to open in October 2007.
