Retail and shopping centres play an important role in our landscape, alongside the high street and supermarkets this is where we spend much of our time! In fact 57% of people visit a shopping centre at least once a month, probably more!

Online shopping has swept the nation but traditional retail is still here! Retail is certainly not doomed to the history books as 95% of Gen z have visited a shopping centre in the last quarter.

Retail, unlike many activities, isn't seasonal, it is a year round industry with over 300 billion spent in this country alone. Fashion and beauty continue to be the biggest draw and it is important for shopping centres to be diverse and creative to gain footfall.

Shopping centres whilst attracting crowds are also beginning to transform their spaces to encourage customers to do more than just shop. Consumers now also visit to eat, meet friends, get nails and eyebrows done and even play table tennis!

The retail centres of the future will provide experiences rather than housing just stores.

Pop Up Power Supplies® Ltd range of retractable service units provide electricity for public spaces such as shopping centres.

There are three main units in our range – Pop Up units, Power Bollards and In-ground, also known as Flip lid, all of which provide a range of outdoor power. We offer a range of configurations, as well as bespoke In-ground power units or Pop Up units with recessed tops that can accommodate different forms of surface material such as tiling.

Staging an outdoor event in the urban public environment is a great commercial activity for any local authority. Attracting more people to make use of your shopping centre, not only boosts the commercial viability of our retail spaces, but it also helps to create a sense of community and well-being.

We work closely with some of the UK’s leading contractors, architects and civil engineers, creating bespoke outdoor power solutions and retractable service units for their projects.
