Are you a business looking for somewhere to build your empire?

Then the Concourse Shopping Centre in the heart of Skelmersdale could be the perfect location.

The Concourse Shopping Centre have several options for new and existing businesses in Skelmersdale.

If you are a small independent business, you could perhaps take a look at trialling a market stall on the ground floor. For just £50 a week, including business rates and utilities, you can see how your business performs for up to 4 weeks. You only ever pay for the time you are there, so if you don’t feel that your business is going to work out, no problem, there are no extra fees and no notice to give.

Trialling a stall has proven to be hugely successful, as demonstrated by Bathroom Heaven who is now well established in the market hall after being based in Ormskirk for several years. Not to mention the other successful businesses in the market hall such as Murphy & Sons Butchers and The Sweet Stall.

Once your trial is over you can then rent a market stall for as little as £100 per week! That’s less than £15 a day.

If you have a food business, a unit in the Concourse Kitchen could be the ideal opportunity! This is a large spacious area with excellent lighting and is located in a great position within the shopping centre. The Concourse Kitchen currently has units available to rent for just £100 per week, so there’s no time like the present to start or grow your food business.

There are a lot of exciting opportunities within the Concourse for businesses, whether you’re just starting out or are well established. All the shops are undercover, there are great transport links, and there’s a fabulous sense of community.

The Concourse is a great place for residents to meet and shop, plus with the ongoing new additions such as Capitol Cinema and Slideways Drift, there has never been a better time or location to set up your business in Skelmersdale.

It couldn’t be easier to find out more about getting set up, with the extremely helpful and supportive Concourse Marketing Team on hand to help. Dianne Fletcher is the Assistant Manager of the Concourse and will be more than happy to assist you. Flexible rates are available for the larger stores, and the team at the marketing Suite are friendly and approachable.

Give them a call on 01695 723785 to arrange a meeting or pop in next time you’re down at the centre.

Don’t see an empty shop, see the potential for new business opportunities.

Don’t take our word for it, see what these businesses have to say:

“The footfall, approachability and flexibility of the Concourse attracted us to the shopping centre. The rent is actually very reasonable. It only took one conversation with the Concourse to convince us that it was the right location for our business.” – Slideways Rc Drift

“The Concourse is a very good place to work and we are in an ideal location when it gets busy. We have a shop in Kirkby but we were advised to set up here too. It’s a happy, friendly place with loads of business opportunities and people like to try something new.” – Mochi

“I had a shop here 30 years ago so I knew the Concourse quite well. I came back because it was a good location and a nice place for people to shop. My products are top quality but available at Concourse prices so they’re affordable, so it works quite well for me.” – Bathroom Heaven
