Bannon Shopping Centre Footfall (2019, 2020, 2021)
There is an air of positivity coming from our shopping centre & retail park management teams across the country. It has been great to see the rebound in footfall since full reopening of our portfolio on the 17th of May last. The first three weeks since reopening have seen weekly footfall jump back to 86% of the levels seen in 2019. What’s much more significant is the number of retailers reporting May 2021 sales information (a total of 14 days) being ahead of May 2019 (31 days). There is no question that retailers need to see a sustained period of brisk trade but the data so far is pointing in the right direction.
