Briefly

The Liberty shopping centre boasts a diverse range of over 90 shops, including popular names like Flannels, Primark, and Next, as well as independent retailers. New stores such as Miniso and Lovisa are set to open soon, yet the site is also witnessing a downturn, with several vacant units, including notable closures like TRNDS and Heaven at Home. The Stewards Walk wing appears particularly quiet, raising concerns about the centre's appeal and longevity in a changing retail landscape. The closure of former branches like TSB adds to the uncertainty surrounding The Liberty's commercial health.
