Everards brewery to leave before Christmas as Fosse Park extends with huge Next store.

Fosse Park has acquired the site of the former Everards brewery to expand its retail park in Enderby.

The Castle Acres site has been home to Everards brewery for 30 years. The brewery and head officers will now relocate to two new sites Everards Meadows and Optimus Point. 

The purchase means Fosse Park will add 288,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space to its current offering, committing £135milllion to develop the 12.5acre site. 

Everards will leave the site before Christmas with work starting on the redevelopment in early 2018. 

The planning process for the redevelopment was led by Everards and supported by Next, which will be taking a 90,000 sq ft three-story store in the new scheme. Other tenants will include Debenhams, TK Maxx and Clarks. 

Hannah Milne, Director of Regional Retail at The Crown Estate, said: “Fosse is already one of the best retail centres in the country, and the addition of Castle Acres promises to make it that much better. The extension will be a fantastic boost for the local economy and we look forward to working with all our local partners as this new retail hub begins to take shape.”

Richard Everard, Chairman of Everards said: “We are delighted to have reached an agreement to sell Castle Acres to The Crown Estate, through the Fosse Partnership. Having already established our new logistics centre at Glenfield, Leicestershire we now look forward to developing Everards Meadows. The build programme, commencing in early 2018 will include a Everards office and brewery, destination food and drink units and a cycling centre. We look forward to all of these developments further strengthening our family business for this and successive generations.”
