Liverpool ONE has seen sales surge 8% over the past 12 months, bucking national trends.
Landsec, which acquired the 1.65m sq ft retail and leisure complex from Grosvenor in a £490m deal in late 2024, said the top performing categories include health and beauty, giftware, accessories and jewellery, and entertainment and fast food.
Around 33m people a year visit Liverpool ONE and big name arrivals over the past 12 months have included Sephora, KIKO Milano, Miniso, POP Mart, Wingstop, UNIQLO and ARNE.
Health and beauty sales saw a 31% increase year-on-year supported by the arrivals of Sephora and KIKO Milano. Gifts also performed strongly, with an increase of almost 20%, with the opening of Miniso and POP Mart contributing to the impressive growth.
Accessories and jewellery also saw a sales boost of 4%, supported by the recent opening of Monica Vinader. With Lovisa joining the line-up in May, and Accessorize opening this month, this category is set to go from strength to strength.
Entertainment also played a key role in performance, demonstrated by an 8% increase in year-on-year sales, across retailers including Flight Club, Gravity MAX and Odeon.
Mixed fashion is up by 66% supported by the arrival of ARNE and Uniqlo in the last 12 months with their men’s collections strengthening Liverpool ONE offering.
