Bosses at the Sheffield shopping centre said Christmas sales were also up on the last ‘normal’ year in 2019.
A further five new brands are set to open in spring, including posh watchmakers Omega and Breitling.
A huge leisure extension, announced six years ago, is still on the drawing board and there are no takers for units left empty by Debenhams, Top Shop and Miss Selfridge.
Nevertheless, bosses said there is much to celebrate. Here are some of the shops which have opened.
