M Core strengthens retail portfolio with series of deals with WYE
WYE has proven to be a strong and flexible retailer, and the stores already trading within our portfolio have performed well. This series of deals is a great example of how we work closely with occupiers to enhance our centres, support sustainable growth and ensure our assets remain relevant to the communities they serve.”
M Core has continued to strengthen its convenience and value retail offering with a series of successful leasing deals completed with WYE, previously known as Top Gift.
WYE is the consumer mobile accessory brand of Top Gift Ltd, the vertically integrated supplier and retailer established in 2005.
The agreements support M Core’s commitment to partnering with resilient, customer‑focused retailers that enhance footfall and vibrancy across its managed centres.
The partnership has already delivered a number of completed deals across the UK, including two stores in The Concourse Shopping centre in Skelmersdale, along with locations at Govan Cross in Glasgow, Churchill Shopping Centre in Dudley, M Penny Hill in Leeds and Grosvenor Shopping Centre in Northampton.
Building on this momentum, M Core is currently in the process of agreeing further stores with WYE, with an additional unit under discussion in The Centre, Livingston in Scotland.
The deals reflect M Core’s proactive asset management strategy and its focus on working with growing retailers that appeal to local communities and drive consistent footfall. WYE’s continued expansion following its rebrand from Top Gift highlights the strength of the operator’s offer and its confidence in M Core managed locations.
