Queensgate Peterborough has announced that Seoul Plaza, the leading Korean-inspired grocery retailer, has opened its first location in the city, further diversifying the centre’s vibrant tenant mix.
The new 4,099 sq ft store, located alongside New Look in the Lower Mall, offers a vibrant selection of supermarket-style groceries, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. As the leading importer of Korean food in the UK, Seoul Plaza also offers an extensive range of Japanese, Chinese and Thai products, combining high-quality, authentic flavours with convenience.
The Seoul Plaza concept includes its highly popular hot food counter, offering popular Korean staples including bibimbap, Korean fried chicken (yangnyeom) and bulgogi, with seasonal menus of authentic street food favourites.
Seoul Plaza joins Queensgate’s extensive lineup of standout retailers, and sits alongside recent additions including MINISO, Rituals and Lovisa, complementing the destination’s ongoing strategy to deliver best-in-class retail that meets the evolving needs of its customers.
Ed Ginn, Director of Investment Management at Invesco Real Estate, said: “Seoul Plaza’s opening is another exciting step in Queensgate’s evolution, bringing a unique grocery and food-to-go offer that enhances the centre’s appeal to both local shoppers and visitors. Following the strong leasing momentum across last year, this is a fantastic way to kick off 2026, and reinforces the continued confidence of aspirational and multi-purpose brands in Queensgate.”
Dan Suh, Managing Director at Korea Foods Company, added: “Queensgate is the perfect setting for Seoul Plaza to make its Peterborough debut, connecting shoppers to authentic Korean food and culture. From everyday essentials to ready-to-eat favourites, the store makes authentic flavours accessible and convenient. Expanding our presence in high-footfall destinations such as Queensgate supports our strategy to reach broader and more diverse audiences.”
The news of Seoul Plaza’s opening follows the landmark arrival of FRASERS at Queensgate, which opened its flagship store in December 2025. The 60,000 sq ft, two-floor store brings together Sports Direct, USC, Jack Wills, GAME, and a dedicated 5,000 sq ft Flannels store under one roof, setting a new benchmark for retail at Queensgate, and reinforcing its position as the leading retail, F&B, and leisure destination in the region.
