Business confidence high as new retail comes to Cheltenham

Business confidence in Cheltenham is up with several new businesses setting up shop across the town centre over the last few months.

Sweaty Betty opened its third South West store in January, with the new Superdry Boutique store, the first of its kind, taking up residence just a few doors up the Promenade.

The town’s Regent Arcade shopping centre welcomed sportswear giant Decathlon into part of the former BHS unit, whilst JD Sports found a home in the arcades Topshop unit. Boutique shops and galleries are on their way too.

Artist-run gallery and exhibition space Spring Cheltenham opened in September in Montpellier, close to specialist dog outfitters Archie’s, closed during lockdown, which has now moved into a much larger property.
