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??🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteIt'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.
DeleteAnyway, do people generally just nip to the dentist on a whim for a tooth out? Personally I like to keep mine in my mouth.
Forget the rebrand, it's about time they had a decent provision of toilets for their customers.
ReplyDeleteI’ll second that. Took grandson recently and he needed the toilet. Had to work out where there was one.
DeleteDefinitely needs bogs & also an M&S
ReplyDeleteAs well as the general ones, there are customer toilets in Asda Living, Morrisons, Popeyes, Frankie and Bennys, Subway.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
DeleteTotally agree about the lack of toilets.
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
ReplyDeleteThere 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.
DeleteDo you go for a drink or a bite to eat on every visit to Parkgate? I know I don't.
You don't have to go for a drink or a bite to eat to use the toilets at Asda Living, Costa or Morrisons
DeleteAsda living close the toilets early
DeleteThere is the toilet block in addition to toilets in 10 of the shops/restaurants. How's is this not enough?
ReplyDeleteYou’ve obviously not been recently the toilet block had been closed for months, the store toilets are meant for the store customers!
DeleteThere 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.
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting take, because there's a lot fewer toilets at Parkgate than the majority of large retail parks I've visited.
DeleteIf 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
ReplyDeleteWell 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.
DeleteParkgate 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.
