News: Parkgate unveils the first phase of its rebrand
Shoppers visiting Parkgate in Rotherham will notice an exciting transformation as the retail destination launches the first phase of its rebrand. The refresh includes a modern, up-to-date logo and a brand-new website designed to make it easier for visitors to stay informed about everything happening at Parkgate.
The Parkgate team will be debuting new uniforms featuring the refreshed branding with new signage also planned. The rebrand is another clear sign of the positive energy and ongoing improvements at Parkgate, bringing together a dynamic new team, including Mark Kanaris-Sotiriou as Senior Operations Manager and Alex Parkinson as Operational Support Supervisor, welcoming exciting new brands, and continually enhancing the shopping experience for its loyal shopper base.
The new branding, launched at the end of October, will also be joined by brand-new Christmas decorative displays to welcome in the festive season.
Mark Kanaris-Sotiriou Senior Operations Manager at Parkgate said: "We’re proud to launch the first phase of our new brand at Parkgate. Since joining the team in April, there’s been a real sense of positive change and energy with Alex joining us, the opening of a new link road and Park & Ride, and a range of new lettings. This new look reflects that momentum and our commitment to continually improving Parkgate for our shoppers and retailers."

Parkgate recently launched the Families First Christmas Toy Appeal. Every year, the borough comes together to make sure no child wakes up without a gift on Christmas morning. Since 1991, the appeal works closely with schools, social services, and local charities to ensure toys reach children who need them most.
Shoppers pick an age tag from the trees at Parkgate Shopping for a child they’d like to buy for, from 0-18. Gifts to the maximum value of £20 can then be dropped off at any of the stores on Parkgate Shopping for the attention of the Christmas Toy Appeal.
Last year over 2,250 children in Rotherham had a present waiting under the tree thanks to the appeal.
The past twelve months have also seen a wave of new lettings, with popular names such as Footasylum, Wilko and a revamped Superdrug, and some more exciting announcements in the pipeline.
The latest move has seen TUI take a smaller unit next to its Holiday Superstore to move its operations.
Plans have also been approved to enable My Dentist to open in the former Superdrug unit.

Just gunna nip to park gate,get so me new trainer's,a new shirt maybe some aftershave and a bite to eat......oh and I'll nip in for a tooth out!!🤣🤣Is a retail park really place for a dentist??🤣🤣
Forget the rebrand, it's about time they had a decent provision of toilets for their customers.
Definitely needs bogs & also an M&S
It's a good idea, if people are going to the dentist then they might go in a shop and buy something while they're there that they maybe wouldn't have done otherwise.
Anyway, do people generally just nip to the dentist on a whim for a tooth out? Personally I like to keep mine in my mouth.
As well as the general ones, there are customer toilets in Asda Living, Morrisons, Popeyes, Frankie and Bennys, Subway.
The last few times I've tried to use the general ones they've been out of order and there's only two or three toilets anyway, nowhere near enough when it's busy at weekends. Asda Living now close their toilets around 4pm so no good for evening shopping and it's a bit unfair on the likes of Frankie and Bennys to just use the toilet when you aren't even eating there. A retail park the size of Parkgate should have it's own toilet block with more than 3 cubicles, it's indefensible.
Totally agree about the lack of toilets.
I’ll second that. Took grandson recently and he needed the toilet. Had to work out where there was one.
There are also toilets in Costa coffee, Starbucks, Burger King and the pub as well as all the other places people have mentioned so more than enough facilities. Just make use of them when you are stopping in for a drink or a bite to eat.
There aren't more than enough facilities or people wouldn't be complaining about the lack of them. Asking for a dedicated toilet block with more than three cubicles that are in working order, at a retail park as large as Parkgate isn't unreasonable.
Do you go for a drink or a bite to eat on every visit to Parkgate? I know I don't.
There is the toilet block in addition to toilets in 10 of the shops/restaurants. How's is this not enough?
You don't have to go for a drink or a bite to eat to use the toilets at Asda Living, Costa or Morrisons
You’ve obviously not been recently the toilet block had been closed for months, the store toilets are meant for the store customers!
There are more toilets at Parkgate than at the majority of retail parks. I think you're all looking for an issue that doesn't exist.
Asda living close the toilets early
That's an interesting take, because there's a lot fewer toilets at Parkgate than the majority of large retail parks I've visited.
If people don't think there are enough toilets then it obviously is an issue to them.
The last time I went to Cortonwood, which must be pretty close to the same size as Parkgate, the were No toilets
Well that's only one example. However Cortonwood is actually a combination of several different retail parks located next to each other which combined have nowhere near as many stores as Parkgate. The toilet provision there is also terrible. Try venturing outside the S postcode for once.
Parkgate had toilet facilities that were ok, but why did they choose to make them a lot worse?
Can you give us an example of a retail park that has toilet facilities that meet your requirements? And please feel free to venture outside the S postcode area. And it would help if you could be civil about it.
All you "youngsters" are soft, moaning Minnie's.I can remember having to walk to the bottom of our yard in all weathers to go to the toilet. Unlike you lot, nobody complained about the lack of facilities. Nowadays you want your backsides wiping.
Get a life!
What sort of argument is that? You do know long before you had to go down to the bottom of the yard people just used to go in the woods and wipe it with their hand and they didn't complain!
Oh the good old days! We'd still be living in caves if it was left to people like you.
The classic 'things used to be even worse so you've no right to ever expect anything better' argument.
Caves?,caves? We couldn't afford a cave.You don't know you're born!
You're just a pampered mummy's boy. Try wiping your bum on Izal paper!
Bring back Thatcher.She'll sort out you toilet want want wanters.
Sorry to contradict but as someone who had to go in the woods along with the bears, I DID complain.
Malcontents!
Only someone as unsophisticated as you would wipe their bum with a hand. Have you never heard of leaves?
Ah the good old days before Mad dog Maggie,when schoolkids got free milk and we didn't have to import coal.
Nothing wrong with caves old boy. At least we didn't have a homelessness problem.
‘A hand’? You say it like it’s not attached to anything. That would be unsophisticated.
Still awaiting our much travelled shopper to give an example of a retail park with better toilet facilities.
"They turned our local pallais into a bowling alley and......"
Maybe they have a life away from posting on Rothbiz?
I'm surprised Highrise Ron hasn't been on advocating a six storey bog block
Better than being easily pleased and never striving to improve.
Strive away. Maybe one day you will find the toilets you deserve.
You should be a bit more tolerant on this issue
People with incontinence issues are being denied the facilities they need to visit Parkgate.
Totally agree. There are lots of ‘I’m alright Jack’ types on here with no consideration or thought for people in more unfortunate situations.
Who told you my name is Jack?
If that’s the best attempt at ‘comedy’ that you can do then I really wouldn’t have bothered.
Oops, there goes another wasted 30 seconds.
Any chance to belittle people like you is time well spent.
Well, it's a shame that that such an insignificant ambition as belittling people falls so short of the mark.
I wouldn’t go as far as to call it an ambition. Don’t think too highly of yourself.
Anyway, You’ve gone all serious for some reason. Why not try and entertain us with another one of your ‘jokes’?
"If that’s the best attempt at ‘comedy’ that you can do......"
Surely you make an attempt not do one.
That 30 seconds is looking more like a minute.
It’s ok, I understand. Nobody likes to be told they’re not funny. I’ll allow you to have the last word to regain a bit of dignity. Deal?
Why don’t you do one?
Wow that was almost witty. You're halfway there nearly.
