Located on Sealand Road less than one mile from the centre of Chester, Greyhound Retail Park is home to a diverse mix of leading UK retailers, including John Lewis at Home, DFS, Dunelm and Sofology..

Catherine Barnard, associate director, out of town retail, at Savills, comments: “In spite of the economic challenges caused by Covid-19, Natuzzi continues to progress with its expansion plans, which is testament to the strength of the brand and the performance of its existing stores in key locations throughout the UK. Greyhound Retail Park is a leading destination for furniture retailers in the Chester area and will make a fantastic addition to Natuzzi’s growing store portfolio.”

Greyhound Retail Park is owned by Gatehouse Bank, represented by Curson Sowerby Partners.
