As mentioned elsewhere on wiki today, I believe one will be an M&S food store.

withthat

Application info here:

States 'non-food' business units in the blurb, but that's not what people are saying.

My understanding was that Halfords would move into one of the new units and McDonalds would change the Halfords building into a drive thru - that was a couple of years ago though.
If that is true then the food outlet wouldn't be in the new units

Ikea? I haven't heard that one. Most likely place for a new Ikea would be down near Cheshire Oaks.
Am pretty sure that's what was suggested in the local press last year. Also a new Debenhams at The Coliseum: -

I think Softy could be on the money with what he says about Macdonalds though.

My hubs has done some surveys there on the new units and the word was that halfords will move to one of the new ones IF given a financial incentive, then maccies will knock down the old halfords building and make a drive through. I think one of the others is gonna be a 'next home', can't remember now, he told me ages ago!

No way are the new units big enough for Ikea, the original MFI building would have been cramped for Ikea. Double the size of MFI and they might look at the site, otherwise, no way. Two of the units have been let, two are still 'to let'.
