JD Wetherspoon has welcomed scores of customers in the first few weeks at its new pub at Glossop’s Howard Town Mill, which is owned by Peveril Securities in partnership with Real Estate Development Partnerships.

The pub has signed up to a 30 year lease at the mixed use scheme and joins existing tenants Dominos, Travelodge, M&S Simply Food, Cotton Traders and Mountain Warehouse. JD Wetherspoon undertook a £1million fit-out of scheme which took two months.

Wetherspoon chairman Tim Martin said: “We are delighted to have opened at Howard Town Mill and to be a part of such a superb development.”

Damian Flood, managing director of Real Estate Development Partnerships added: “We would like to congratulate Wetherspoon on completing the works to such a high standard. Howard Town Mill is really starting to establish itself as a true retail and leisure destination for Glossop and with Wetherspoon now open we are confident the number of people visiting Howard Town Mill will continue to rise.”
