Modus has announced the new Houndshill Shopping Centre, Blackpool, will be opening its doors on Thursday 21st August 2008. A grand launch to celebrate this opening will take place on Saturday 6th September 2008.

When the new Houndshill Shopping Centre opens this August it will boast an impressive tenant line up and an array of unique features and finishes. Top high street retailers Debenhams, New Look, River Island, Jane Norman, Next and H&M have already committed to taking space within the extension, adding to the existing retailer line up of Primark, Claire’s Accessories, Superdrug, Starbucks, Dorothy Perkins and Faith Shoes.

Upon completion, Houndshill will have tripled in size to 400,000 sq ft and will include a mix of cutting edge features which are characteristic of all Modus developments. There will be a warm and intimate food deck with neutral colours creating a calm and welcoming environment. The moving fish floor and water feature will attract visitors to Houndshill, creating a sense of movement and an aquatic experience that traditionally would not be associated with a shopping centre.

There will also be a number of opportunities for shoppers to take novel photographs within the new and improved Houndshill.

Brendan Flood, Managing Director of Modus, said, “We are looking forward to the opening of the new Houndshill Shopping Centre this August. This will be another distinctive Modus scheme which will bring a stylish environment to the famous British holiday destination of Blackpool.”

Agents for the scheme are Savills, Lunson Mitchenall and Keenan & Co.
