Popular store signs new 10‑year lease at Sheffield's Fox Valley
Outdoor brand Regatta Great Outdoors has extended its lease at Fox Valley in north Sheffield, committing to a further ten years at the retail centre.
Regatta was part of the original line‑up when Fox Valley first opened in June 2016 and was launched by Dame Joanna Lumley OBE, the store has remained one of the centre’s popular brand names.
Over the past decade, the team has built strong relationships with customers and become a valued part of the local community.
Located in one of the larger units at the centre, Regatta continues to perform strongly, offering a wide range of outdoor clothing and equipment for families, walkers, cyclists and adventurers.
The British clothing brand is based in Manchester and is part of the privately owned Regatta Group, which also includes Craghoppers, Dare2b and Regatta Professional.
The company sells its quality outdoor clothing through major outdoor retailers alongside its own standalone stores such as the Fox Valley store - as well as concessions and a growing e‑commerce platform.
Stocksbridge sits at the gateway to the Peak District and on the route of the Tour de France Grand Départ, making it a popular destination for walking and cycling.
James Shepherd, Managing Director at Dransfield Properties, said: “Regatta has been with us since day one, and we’re extremely pleased that the company is continuing its long-term commitment to Fox Valley.
"The store plays an important role in the centre’s retail mix and in the wider community. We look forward to working closely with the Regatta team over the next decade.”
Joanne Black, Director and Co-owner at the Regatta Group added: “Following from a successful ten years at Fox Valley, we are pleased to continue to serve our customers, enabling them to enjoy outdoor adventures whatever the weather.”
The lease extension comes as Fox Valley looks ahead to a positive year, with work due to begin later in the spring on the centre’s new M&S store, marking another significant investment in the development. Newmark acted on behalf of Regatta on the lease extension.
