The Dolphin Shopping Centre provides Poole’s prime retail pitch, offering 430,000 square feet of accommodation, generating annual footfall of 12 million per annum. The scheme is linked to the main town centre car parks, with 1,400 total parking spaces. Key tenants include H&M, Primark, Boots, River Island, Next & JD Sports. There is also a growing leisure offer, with a new 40,000-square-foot Flipout Entertainment Centre that recently opened.
Over the past few years, the scheme has benefited from proactive investment, which has brought in an innovative range of uses, including Kingland – a curated range of independent retailers, NHS Health Village, The Skills & Learning Centre, Gather – community space available for workshops and pop-ups, Dolphin Street Market, and The Foundry – a modern coworking space.
