The megamall is preparing for shake-ups including its first car showroom

Meadowhall is set to unveil several new shops over coming months but until then here’s an exclusive update from The Star.

We have an expected opening date for a new Frasers department store and Sports Direct in The Avenue, and Kiko makeup and Rituals cosmetics shops. There is sad news to announce after a major name closed its doors.

And in a first for the megamall, an electric car showroom is set to open next month. Read on for all the news.

New shops prepare to open at Meadowhall and delighted shoppers at the new Zara.

The Avenue, formerly Park Lane, has fewer empty units than in recent times. But the closure of Nespresso recently was a blow. Other vacancies include Neal’s Yard Remedies, Makers Store and the giant former Top Shop.
