Almondburys, who plan further expansion in the south west, will take over the residue of a ten-year lease dating from September 2009 at a rent of £35,000 per annum, exclusive.
Wimborne continues to prove a popular destination for retailers. Notable new arrivals in the town include Waitrose, Fat Face, Rohan, Crew Clothing, Phase Eight, Moshulu and Wetherspoons.

The latter includes Number 9 (of West Borough) who have recently also launched Number 9 on The Green from the former Crichel Bakery premises in Cook Row & The Tickled Pig ( also in West Borough) who too plan further expansion with a deli/coffee operation proposed for Wimborne Square.
