The opening of the Waterloo Park Phase 2 is fast approaching, marking an important milestone in the regeneration of this prominent brownfield Site.
With construction works now nearing completion, final finishing touches are being undertaken across the development. Tree planting and landscaping will continue over the coming months, completing the transformation of the site.
Meanwhile, occupiers are progressing with the fit-out of their new premises ahead of opening to customers shortly. Opening dates confirmed as:
- Costa Coffee – 22nd October
- KFC – 26th October
- Aldi – 26th November
Tim Wilmer, Investment Director at Hargreaves adds: “We are delighted to welcome KFC to our property portfolio and to continue our successful relationship with Costa Coffee and Aldi. The opening of Phase 2 will bring a range of national operators to the site, delivering investment, employment opportunities and providing additional convenience and food-and-drink options for residents. As attention turns to the remaining development opportunities at Waterloo Park, we look forward to sharing further exciting progress in due course”
Matthias Daly, Real Estate Director at Aldi, said: “We’re pleased to confirm that our new Waterloo Park store is due to open on 26 November. The store will provide local shoppers with access to Aldi’s award-winning quality products at our everyday low prices, while also creating new jobs and investment in the local community. We look forward to welcoming customers through our doors later this year.”
A Costa Coffee Spokesperson said: “We’re thrilled to be opening our new Costa Coffee Drive Thru store in Waterloo Park, Waterlooville. The new store will create up to 16 employment opportunities, bringing a team of talented baristas to the area. We look forward to serving the local community their favourite Costa Coffee drinks once we open later this month.”
A KFC spokesperson said: “It’s been great working in partnership with Hargreaves to help bring this next phase of development in Waterlooville to life. Our partnership has been key to getting our brand-new restaurant on Elettra Avenue ready to open, and we’re really excited to be bringing more finger lickin’ good chicken to the area. A huge thank you to everyone involved in making it happen, and we can’t wait to open our restaurant doors.”
