Small businesses, start-up retailers and local artists are being given the opportunity to open their doors to customers at Beverleyโ€™s bustling Flemingate centre.

Wykeland Group, owner of the popular retail and leisure destination, has earmarked an 850 sq ft unit as a dedicated pop-up space to help small companies and independent traders take their first step into physical retail.

 

The pop-up space is located between Guitar Galleries and hair and beauty salon Vintage & Co and opposite a new Sports Direct and USC store which opens next month.

It will give traders and artists a chance to test the waters of retail and introduce their brands to new audiences.

Jo Bridgeman, Flemingateโ€™s Marketing and Events Manager said: โ€œWeโ€™re always keen to support local independents as part of the continually developing and evolving mix of retail and leisure outlets at Flemingate, so weโ€™re encouraging start-up brands and creatives to take advantage of the new pop-up space.

โ€œThis is a great opportunity for emerging businesses and artists to bridge the online and offline worlds, expand their audience and give visitors to Flemingate a unique shopping experience.

โ€œAs a result of the pandemic, people are increasingly keen to support local independents and small businesses and our pop-up space will provide a risk-free opportunity for traders or artists to showcase their brand and products.โ€

Jo added: โ€œWeโ€™re happy to talk to people about occupying the unit for limited periods of time that enable their brand to benefit from a physical profile in a high-footfall location.

โ€œSince the re-opening of retail and leisure, we have seen footfall rise to 10% above the equivalent period in 2019 and it would be great to see emerging businesses add to Flemingateโ€™s offer.โ€

The centre features a mix of leading national retail and leisure brands and local independents. It is also home to East Riding Collegeโ€™s Beverley campus, an 80-bed Premier Inn hotel and six-screen Parkway digital cinema.
