The Lexicon Bracknell has announced a host of new occupiers.

The shopping centre, a joint venture between Schroders Capital UK Real Estate Fund and Legal & General Capital, which opened in 2017, has announced Hobbs, Wimpy, Gymfinity Kids, Laser Clinic, Hat and Home and Perfect Smile will take a combined 22,041 sq ft at the centre.

The lettings are in addition to the new 40,000 sq ft Sports Direct store which is due to open in the former Sainsbury’s unit. O2 will relocate from its current location in Princess Square to the former Carphone Warehouse. The various deals mean the Lexicon is currently 70 per cent let.

Tom Woolven, asset manager at Schroders Capital, said: “We are delighted with the lettings we have secured at The Lexicon over the past few months. The arrival of these new leading retail, F&B and leisure brands, combined with the plans to further enhance the centre will ensure The Lexicon remains a thriving retail destination which continues to attract people from across the Thames Valley.

“The Lexicon is integral to the redevelopment of Bracknell town centre, and these latest lettings will also help solidify the town’s status as a key destination within the Berkshire region. As the scheme continues to go from strength to strength, we are excited to see how these new lettings will accelerate the town’s rejuvenation in the future.”
