Situation
The property is situated in the heart of Cannock town centre and occupies a prominent position fronting Market Hall Street, adjacent to JD Sports. The property forms part of the Cannock Shopping Centre and is located close to the main entrance.
Cannock Shopping Centre is the town’s primary covered shopping area. With over 35 places to shop, eat and drink, occupiers in the centre include New Look, Specsavers, EE, Costa Coffee, Holland & Barrett, Bodycare and Poundstretcher.
In addition, Cannock Market Hall is a thriving indoor market located within the shopping centre, housing services ranging from jewellery, clothing and craft supplies to watch repairs, nail technicians, food & drink and more.
The town’s main bus station is immediately adjacent to the Centre.
The shopping centre is located directly opposite the site of a significant regeneration scheme, set to transform the town centre. Cannock Chase Council has secured £20 million from the Government’s Levelling Up fund towards the project. The transformation is set to include refurbishment of the Prince of Wales Theatre, business workspace and a new “northern gateway” into Cannock. In addition, the Centre will benefit from a new pedestrianised crossing linking it directly to a to-be refurbished Beecroft Road Car Park, Cannock’s principal town centre car park. Outline planning permission has been granted and delivery of phase one of the scheme started in January 2025. For further information see here.
