Go Outdoors will replace John Lewis after three years of vacant unit.

After three years of vacancy, the outdoor pursuits retailer, Go Outdoors, will leave Foss Bank and replace the flagship John Lewis store at Vangarde Centre. John Lewis had been at Vangarde since 2014, and the announcement to move was a shock. 

Covering 65,000 square feet, the unit is set to have a new LED lettering design from Sapphire Signs, as well as an in-store café. Having originally looked to move within the city centre after its lease expiration, none were found to be suitable. This move will be a fresh addition to the retail park.
