A new gym is set to open on a Black Country retail park. A 15-year deal has been signed with JD Gyms to open a new 16,200 sq ft venue on Birchley Island Retail Park, in Oldbury.
The firm, which is part of the high street sports fashion chain JD, said it expected to open the site by the end of this year following a comprehensive fit out of the building which will include a new swimming pool, sauna and a mezzanine level.
Landlord Hortons' Estate has invested in the transformation of the former Oldbury Toys 'R' Us site which reopened as Birchley Island Retail Park in May.
The development has four new units and is home to a new B&M store and a standalone Tim Hortons drive-thru restaurant.
An electric vehicle charging hub is currently being installed on the site which will be accessible to occupiers, customers and the wider community.
Richard Walker, a commercial survey at Birmingham-based Hortons' Estate, said: "We're very pleased to welcome JD Gyms to Birchley Island Retail Park. The park is in a great location as demonstrated by our other occupiers performing well ahead of expectation.
"We look forward to progressing discussions with occupiers for the last remaining unit to complete the scheme."
Property agency Wright Silverwood acted on the deal.
