Junction 32 achieves highest ever turnover
The retail outlet has seen its sales in the first half of the year rise by 8% compared to the same period in 2024, making 2025 the most successful in its 26-year history.
The record-breaking figures reflect the shopping destination’s wider growth trajectory, which has seen both sales and footfall increasing year-on-year.
Health and beauty is up 8% compared to H1 of 2024, menswear has seen an increase of 6%, and gifts and confectionery grew by 5%.
Frasers Group acquired the retail destination from Landsec in 2023, in a deal worth more than £45m, and has been working with asset managers Global Mutual to drive growth.
Located in Castleford, the site spans 250,000 sq ft and comprises around 85 stores, with tenants such as Adidas, M&S, Nike, and Next.
Speaking exclusively to Place Yorkshire, Rachel Scott, head of leasing at Global Mutual, said: “As asset managers, our strategy goes beyond simply driving footfall, strong performance, and impressive sales – it’s also about curating a brand lineup that evolves with the needs of our customers.
“At Junction 32, that means identifying the right brands for the local community and staying attuned to what they want.
“That includes bringing in exciting new names such as Dune London, Flannels, and Saltrock, all of which have opened in the past year, while also retaining the much-loved brands that consistently perform well.
“With the centre now close to full occupancy, our focus is on how we can continue to elevate the experience for our visitors.”
