Summary
Middleton’s iconic shopping centre has just been snapped up by AG Retail, part of the Adhan Group, marking a major new chapter for the town. With 87 stores and a car park for 400+ cars, the centre is set for a full revitalisation as new tenants like Boyes and B&M move in, replacing former tenants like Wilko and Poundstretcher. This comes alongside big plans for the Northern Gateway project, including a Metrolink tram stop, new homes, and thousands of jobs — all timed to boost Middleton’s economy. The Adhan Group, already behind major centres in Warrington and Blackburn, sees this as a perfect fit for their model, and with 4 million visitors annually, the future looks bright for this bustling hub.
