M Three Spires in Lichfield has reached full occupancy following the successful completion of three significant retail transactions, reinforcing the centre’s position as a leading retail and leisure destination in the heart of the city.
Owned and managed by LCP UK, part of M Core, the latest deals include a combination of new lettings and a major lease renewal, reflecting sustained confidence in the scheme from both national and independent operators.
At 16a Bakers Lane, a new five-year lease has been secured with Gacha Claw, which will introduce a vibrant, family‑friendly entertainment and café concept to the centre.
The 2,774 sq ft venue will combine skill‑based claw machines, a colourful retail area and a welcoming café serving bubble tea, light bites and desserts. It will also feature a dedicated party room designed for celebrations.
Created to bring entertainment, relaxation and joyful moments to the local community, Gacha Claw aims to offer a bright and welcoming destination for families and friends of all ages.
Catheen Lueng from Gacha Claw said:
“Our vision for Gacha Claw is to bring entertainment, relaxation and joyful moments to the local community. We’ve created a bright, family-friendly space where people can play, enjoy sweet treats and celebrate together.
At the heart of our brand is our message, ‘Catch the Fun, Enjoy the Moment.’ We’re excited to become part of the vibrant M Three Spires community and contribute something positive to Lichfield.”
Meanwhile, Sports Direct has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to M Three Spires with a new five-year lease renewal for its 6,555 sq ft store at 8/10 Gresley Row.
Completing two further lettings:
22 Bakers Lane has been secured on a new 10‑year lease to Savers. The retailer completed its refurbishment of the 3,713 sq ft unit and opened in early March, further strengthening the centre’s health and beauty offering.
Co‑op Travel has taken Unit 31 Bakers Lane on a new 10‑year lease. The store is now open and enhances the centre’s service-led retail mix, offering customers access to expert travel planning and holiday services in a convenient and well‑positioned location.
These lettings are underpinned by a strong year of visitor performance throughout 2025. Annual footfall increased by 2% year on year, with more than 2.4 million visitors recorded across the calendar year. The centre ended the year on a high, with December footfall rising 10.16% compared with 2024, highlighting its continued resilience and appeal.
