Chosen by intu Lakeside’s customers, the following in-centre stores came first place:

• My Favourite Place to Eat – Five Guys

Centre Management at intu Lakeside also voted Hotel Chocolat as the intu Superstar.

Retailers at the centre kindly donated a selection of prizes which were raffled off to raise additional funds to intu Lakeside’s 2016 charity, Brainwave. intu Lakeside has pledged to raise £25,000 for the local children’s charity and the additional £450 raised at the event from the raffle and generous donations will help to fund vital personalised therapy treatments for young children with disabilities.

Ben Leeson, Marketing Manager at intu Lakeside, says: “The retailer awards were a huge success and we could not be prouder of the stores at our centre. The event was the perfect way to thank the retailers and their staff for all that they do for intu Lakeside’s customers and we’re delighted with how well the event went.”
