Acting on behalf of the landlord, AS Retail have successfully re-let the former Shuropody in Salisbury to catering brand IRO Sushi.

Nestled between M&S and Pret on New Canal and forming part of the Old George Mall ownership, the unit comprises approx. 1,000 sq ft ground floor with a first floor area which will be converted for extra seating.

IRO are the 5^th occupier to join the scheme in recent weeks following hot on the heals of Rituals and Skechers who have taken prime retail units as well as independent brands Susbu Café and Fluid Barbers who have taken kiosk units at the High Street and Catherine Street entrances respectively.

Established in 2014, IRO Sushi now have over 30 units and has built a strong reputation for bringing fresh, made-to-order Japanese cuisine to local communities across London and the South of England.

Andrew Shepherd, Director at AS Retail who conducted the negotiations on behalf of the landlord commented “We are delighted to have concluded this transaction and to be bringing IRO Sushi to Salisbury. This location is ideal for a catering brand being close to the entrance to Old George Mall, other complementary occupiers such as Pret, Greggs and Costa as well as being next to the bus stops with a high density of footfall. We look forward to seeing the store open soon and wish the team well.”

AS Retail are joint letting agents at Old George Mall with Time Retail Partners. We have a few other units to let in and around Old George Mall which would ideally suit retail or catering uses so please get in touch to discuss any requirements.

 

Acting on behalf of a long-standing Institutional client, AS Retail are pleased to confirm that we have concluded a lease on Ascot High Street to Gould Barbers.

Gould are one of the leading barbering chains in the country operating for some 25 years and approaching 50 salons. They have taken a new long-term lease on the former Cliff Roe Sports at Unit 3, 49 High Street close to Costa, Tesco Express, Guinot and a host of other independent brands with a ground floor sales area of approx.. 860 sq ft and a mezzanine of circa 200 sq ft.

Ollie Haxton from AS Retail who conducted the negotiations on behalf of the landlord commented “We’re delighted to have secured Gould Barbers for this property. We received a lot of interest and a number of offers but felt Gould, being such a professional and respectable brand, would be the ideal fit for the space and would complement the other uses in our ownership and the town generally.”

We potentially have other asset management opportunities in the ownership so please do get in touch with Ollie or Andrew at AS Retail to discuss any requirements.
