LIVERPOOL ONE SHAPING UP FOR A RECORD BREAKING CHRISTMAS
North West Shopping Centre
Figures just in from Liverpool ONE indicate all signs of a cracking Christmas with both footfall and sale up dramatically YOY.
Total footfall for w/e December 11 was 739,100 – the first time since opening footfall has exceeded the 700,000 mark – and a 41% increase on the same period in 2008. Sales are also up on the same time as last year showing a rise of 21%.
The positive results are on the back of a succession of new store openings over the last 5 weeks including Habitat, Whistles, Hollister, Jaeger and local jeweller David M Robinson.
The new Hilton hotel is also thought to be a major footfall driver to the area bringing both overnight guests as well as people from Merseyside sampling the new food and drink offering.
Said estate director Chris Bliss: “There is no denying 2009 has been a difficult year for the retail sector as a whole but we have worked hard on our offering at Liverpool ONE to ensure a great retail and leisure offering
“We have also looked to offer visitors something extra each time they visit, from the family entertainment programme over the summer to chocolate week earlier in the year and most recently with the Ice Palace and the Liverpool ONE Wheel.
“We’re getting positive feedback from our retailers too, John Lewis in particular have experienced a great quarter 4 with very healthy sales.
“We’ve been particularly pleased with the Peters Lane, which now has a very strong offering of high quality fashion and accessory brands and we have more openings planned for the first quarter of 2010, which is great for Liverpool ONE and for the city as a whole.”
Week commencing December 14 is expected to be the busiest week of the year as visitors make their final preparations for Christmas, and Liverpool ONE predicts that it could be their busiest week of trading to date with an estimated 800,000 shoppers expected.
The strongest performing categories to date are leisurewear, followed by jewellery and accessories.
Recent research undertaken by Mediavest for Liverpool ONE found 99% of those surveyed said Liverpool ONE was a clean environment and 98% said it felt secure.

Liverpool ONE Scoops Gold
Liverpool ONE, Grosvenor’s pioneering £1 billion retail-led regeneration of Liverpool city centre, won two Gold Awards at the BCSC Annual Dinner, held last night at the Grosvenor House Hotel (in London).
Liverpool ONE won its first Gold in the category of In-Town Retail Scheme (more than 300,000 sq ft). In addition, Liverpool ONE received a coveted Supreme Gold from the BCSC judges, and was cited as having raised the bar in the industry.
The awards were presented Andrew Marr, veteran broadcaster and former political editor at the BBC.
Commenting on Liverpool ONE’s success, Chris Bliss, estate director, said: “We are very proud to have received such recognition, particularly given the strength of the other entries.
“Liverpool ONE has helped to revitalise and re-energise one of the UK’s most important cities, and retailers are seeing significant benefits as a consequence. The BCSC Golds recognise that and it is a great accolade, not just for Grosvenor and the team involved in creating and running Liverpool ONE, but for its retailers, caterers, other occupiers and city-wide stakeholders. Most importantly, however, this is Liverpool’s success.”
Neil Varnham, Chairman of the BCSC Gold Awards Jury and Director of Cadena, added: “Liverpool ONE is probably one of the most challenging regeneration projects of our time – achieving the maintenance of the urban grain, with a revitalised retail offer linking the scheme to the dock area. It is undoubtedly a benchmark for the UK shopping centre industry in demonstrating successful delivery of the Government’s urban agenda. It has truly regenerated one of our most well-known cities.”
The BCSC Golds are the latest in a series of significant awards to have been given to Liverpool ONE and are the crowning glory of a highly successful year.
Footfall at Liverpool ONE is up by 20% versus the same time in 2008 and a series of key new brands have recently opened. These include the city’s first Habitat in twenty years, which opened on the day that the awards were announced, Jaeger, Whistles, Reiss, The Entertainer, Mama & Papas’ first city centre store in the North West, and Hollister, which opened today.

[1] EXCLUDES PUBLIC HOLIDAYS AND NEW YEAR’S EVE
The Romantic Weekend Plan
I’ve been looking on Yahoo! for hotels, and my god, how impressed am I with Yahoo this time on the search results.
Okay so Google provide a really cool amount of results both paid and natural, but I have to say, the Yahoo results are really helping me to find what I’m looking for, (never thought I would say that in this life time)
Search Yahoo! For Hotels
So okay, when you search for Hotels in Google, you get the usual suspects coming up, and get the map with several listings on their, but this is nothing when it comes to Yahoo search results. You can choose from a specific company, or location, it’s “also try” feature is brilliant, and if you click on London Hotels for example, it will again give you the map of where they are, along with reviews too, so you can see what other people think BEFORE you go their and have either a brilliant or really bad time.
So the reason for this post is to share my experience, as I’m currently looking at taking my partner away for a romantic weekend, but where do I take her? The answer was giving to me by my new search best friend. Yahoo! a luxury hotel in London is now on the cards, where I can treat her to a pamper session, and a lovely meal that should really earn me some brownie points.
I’ve decided on taking her to a central London hotel, as the site I came across is promoting voucher codes, so she can be pampered, waited on, the whole lot, and I can go off and treat myself to a few treats while i’m waiting.
To make a weekend of it, I’m also looking at taking her to the theatre as I’ve seen some great deals online that look pretty good, but the only problem I have is what one to book, and I can’t ask her without her clicking on that I’m planning something special for her.
So what can I do now…. i think i’ll have to get on Twitter and see if I can find anything on their that can give me some options on what to do, and where to go for the best night possible.
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas on where to look, then please get in touch, I have just 4 days to think of something.
