'We’re excited for what’s to come': Community delight as Northern Ireland shopping centre offers 'sneak peek' pictures of revamp plans
New owners Muntermellan Ltd reveal first images of Erneside Shopping Centre plans, aiming to refresh Enniskillen’s 171,590 sq ft retail hub and replicate the success of their Rushmere investment in Craigavon
Fermanagh’s premier retail destination has released images offering a first glimpse of plans for the revamped Erneside Shopping Centre in Enniskillen.
In a social media post, the centre teased: “Sneak peek at the initial plans for Erneside. The new owners and management team have been working hard behind the scenes, and we’re excited for what’s to come. Watch this space…”
The 171,590 sq ft enclosed mall, which sits on around 9.9 acres and is anchored by Marks & Spencer and Next, was sold in December for £12.4 million to Muntermellan Ltd. The shareholders behind Muntermellan also own Rushmere Shopping Centre and Retail Park in Craigavon.
Erneside’s tenant mix includes JD Sports, New Look, Superdrug, Waterstones, Holland & Barrett, and Poundland. The new owners are expected to follow a similar investment and refurbishment strategy to that of Rushmere, which has been transformed since its acquisition three years ago.
Local reaction to the announcement has been overwhelmingly positive, with comments describing the news as “wonderful,” “looks amazing,” and “great news in badly need of a revamp.”
The Erneside Shopping Centre revamp signals a major boost for Enniskillen’s retail offering and the wider community.
