Boots have become the latest big name to sign up for Aberdeen’s new Prime Four retail park.
The new £100million facility is planned as an extension of the Prime Four Business Park in Kingswells.
Drum, developer of Prime Four, has submitted an application to the City of Aberdeen Council for a 320,000 sq. ft. retail development, including a food store, next to the existing business park
Last month, the Press and Journal revealed that Next had been confirmed as the first retailer to sign up for the park.
Welcoming a potential move to Prime Four, a spokesperson for Boots said: “At Boots UK, we are continually reviewing new locations to make sure our stores are where our customers need us most.
“We support the application from Drum Property Group for a new retail development in the Prime Four location, as the site has significant potential for Boots UK and other retailers should planning permission be granted.”
Graeme Bone, Group Managing Director of Drum Property Group, said: “Boots will be a natural fit for the new retail park and shows the potential it has for major retailers to complement existing retail provision across the rest of the city.
“We are currently in active discussions with a number of other retailers for the new retail park, some of whom are looking to expand their presence in Aberdeen, and others who are new to the city.
He added: “As well as jobs, new services and retailer brands, a development of this size will have a significant positive economic impact on the area at a very challenging time for the North East economy.”
