Tesco Homeplus - Capitol Centre - Walton le Dale

Tesco Homeplus open new store at Capitol retail park, Walton le Dale, Preston

Tesco Homeplus

Tesco Homeplus Stores offer all of Tesco's ranges except food in warehouse-style units in retail parks. Tesco is using this format because only 20% of its customers have access to a Tesco Extra, and the company is restricted in how many of its superstores it can convert into Extras and how quickly it can do so. Large units for non-food retailing are much more readily available.

There are currently 11 Homeplus stores nationwide. The newest Homeplus store opened in Walton le Dale, Preston in June 2009.

Further designs were included for a new slip road off London Way into the park, providing easier access, along with 2,500sq. ft of retail premises for new tenants, Sub-Way and Starbucks Coffee. Work on this began in February.
