Grand Arcade Shopping Center

General Overview

• Grand Arcade Shopping Centre comprises a modern, town centre dominant shopping centre that houses Wigan’s prime retail pitch.
• Grand Arcade opened in 2007 and is a modern scheme, extending to 439,138 sq. ft, divided into a retail section, a storage area and an additional 899 parking spaces, set within 20 acres.
• Grand Arcade includes a purpose-built retail warehouse scheme, constructed in 1995, and providing accommodation arranged in two terraces with additional pods in the car park. Planning permission has been granted for a further pod development in the car park.
• A total of 863 car parking spaces is provided at the scheme, over two multi storey car parks; the Millgate car park and the Crompton Street car park. Grand Arcade is therefore a key source of car parking serving Wigan town centre.
