The £10 million transformation of The Concourse Shopping Centre is another step closer after The Light Cinema signed an agreement for lease of an eight-screen cinema.
Jo Salmon, retail portfolio manager at London & Cambridge Properties (LCP), which is delivering the project on behalf of joint venture partners LCP and Columbia Threadneedle Investments, said it is now in talks with a number of food and beverage operators about opening outlets at the centre.
“This is exciting news for the people of Skelmersdale. It represents a continuing commitment towards the regeneration of the town centre and will provide a valuable leisure and entertainment hub.
“We are now working to bring nationally known food and beverage operators to The Concourse and look forward to announcing further letting agreements over the course of coming months” she said.
John Sullivan, managing director of The Light, said: “The Light will offer a dynamic cinema experience, providing The Concourse and Skelmersdale with an exciting, highly inclusive, social venue the heart of the town, attracting a mix of families, young people and mature adults. In partnership with a range of food and beverage operators, including restaurants, cafes, bars and other leisure operators, we will offer customers a quality night out experience.”
