Ben Blain, Director at Carigiet Cowen, has successfully secured a further series of national lettings to the ground floor of the former House of Fraser building on English Street, alongside Caffè Nero and Tesco Express, marking another positive step in the ongoing revitalisation of Carlisle city centre.
The latest occupiers include:
Søstrene Grene – the much-loved Danish retail brand, founded in 1973 and still family-owned, offering a distinctive mix of homeware, crafts, stationery and lifestyle products.
VPZ – a fast-growing, high-street retailer established in Leith in 2012, now operating over 190 stores nationwide.
At a time when high streets across the UK continue to face challenges, from shifting consumer habits to economic pressures, these lettings demonstrate that well-positioned retail assets, when supported by strategic commercial property management, can still attract strong national covenants.
Carigiet Cowen remains committed to supporting property owners in navigating this evolving landscape, bringing high-quality occupiers into key locations and playing an active role in the regeneration of town and city centres, particularly in Carlisle, where momentum continues to build.
