NINE retailers have just signed up for the Westfield Broadway shopping centre - including six that are new to the city.

Fashion and footwear retailer Footasylum, luxury baker Patisserie Valerie, and The Entertainer, the UK’s largest independent toy retailer, have all confirmed that they will open their first stores in the centre.

They will be joined by food retailers Taco Bell, Wrap Chic and Spud U Like, meaning together with new signing Subway, the centre’s food court is now fully let.

The Taco Bell replaces the previously announced Hey Potato.

Travel operator Thomson and health retailer Holland & Barrett have been added to the list of new additions.

MORE BROADWAY DEVELOPMENT HEADLINES

The centre will open in the autumn.

Keith Mabbett, Director of Leasing at Westfield, commented: “To be able to announce nine new sign-ups is an absolutely fantastic vote of confidence in both The Broadway and in Bradford as a whole.

“These new retailers are another fantastic step forward for The Broadway and we’re thrilled to welcome them all. Each brings something different to the centre and we know they’ll provide local people with more shopping choice.

“The latest sign-ups include more firsts for Bradford, confirming the development as the choice destination for major retailers who haven’t previously been able to find a suitable location for their business in the city.

“We have built up fantastic momentum in terms of securing retailers, and there are many more great names to come in the next few months.”
