Development

Liverpool Shopping Park on Edge Lane is undergoing an exciting transformation, poised to become one of Merseyside’s premier destinations for shopping, dining, and sustainable travel. The latest updates reveal significant progress on major new additions, including Tesla, Five Guys, and Costa Coffee, all bringing enhanced offerings to this rapidly evolving retail hub.

Tesla Supercharger Station and Showroom Nearing Completion

The highly anticipated Tesla Supercharger station is almost ready for operation.

With its modern red and grey design now clearly visible from Edge Lane, this facility will include:

• Fast-charging bays for Tesla vehicles
• Convenient Edge Lane access
• Modern waiting amenities
• Integration with the retail environment for seamless shopping while charging

In addition to the charging station, Tesla will also be launching a 20,000 sq ft showroom, reinforcing Liverpool’s role in supporting the electric vehicle revolution.

Tesla has signed a 20-year lease, confirming its long-term investment in the location.

Five Guys and Costa Coffee: Dual Drive-Thrus Coming Soon

Burger lovers and coffee fans alike will be pleased to learn that both Five Guys and Costa Coffee are opening new drive-thru restaurants at the park. Both have signed 15-year leases, and their respective buildings are now visibly taking shape:

Five Guys Drive-Thru Highlights:

• Prime positioning within the retail park
• Distinctive red and grey contemporary design

• Easy access for dine-in and takeaway customers

Costa Coffee Drive-Thru Highlights:

The addition of these two popular drive-thru options adds more convenience and flavour to Edge Lane, serving both everyday commuters and destination visitors.

Revitalised Entertainment with Hollywood Bowl

Another key milestone is the refurbishment of the Hollywood Bowl, part of a broader £11 million redevelopment. Now complete, the newly improved venue will offer a significantly upgraded entertainment experience:

• A reconfigured 35,000 sq ft leisure facility
• A new 20-year lease agreement ensures long-term presence
• Family-friendly bowling and arcade features

Hollywood Bowl’s transformation underlines the centre’s commitment to combining retail with vibrant leisure experiences.
