Burton upon Trent
Burton upon Trent is an historic industrial town situated amid the predominantly rural and highly picturesque area of south east Staffordshire. With a core population of 65,000 (over 100,000 including surrounding towns and villages), Burton has developed into a substantial and vibrant population.
World renowned for its fine ales (which have included Bass, Marston’s, Ind Coope and Worthington) and famous as the traditional home to household names such as Marmite and Bovril, the town now boasts a wealth of modern business together with an outstanding array of leisure and cultural attractions.
Burton’s commercial and retail well-being is enhanced by the town’s central location and outstanding transport links. Just ten miles from Derby, major centres such as Birmingham, Nottingham and Manchester are all within easy reach by road or rail.
Burton Place Shopping Centre
Burton Place Shopping Centre is a modern, fully covered retail centre ideally situated at the heart of town, with ample dedicated parking which offers easy access to the main focal points in and around Burton.
Built in 1986, Burton Place was originally known as Worthington Walk Shopping Centre – one of many local facilities owing its name to the town’s rich brewing heritage. Following a major refurbishment, the centre became known as Burton Place Shopping Centre in 1999.
At this time, the major national homeware retailer Wilkinson’s opened in Burton Place. Aside from Wilkinson’s and the recent arrival of Home Bargains, all tenants have now been in the centre for over ten years – a testament to its ongoing popularity!
Burton Place Shopping Centre is not only at the heart of Burton physically, but plays a key role in the life of the town. The centre actively supports a variety of local events and is a keen backer of local business and security partnerships.
With other leading stores ranging from frozen foods, home goods and furnishing, and with on-site parking for over 300 vehicles, Burton Place Shopping Centre currently attracts over 80,000 shoppers each week. Why not join us and discover why Burton Place Shopping Centre is such a success?
