Former Dewhirst Factory in Sunderland Reborn: New Retail Hub EmergesThe once-thriving Dewhirst textile factory in Sunderland, a major employer for over a century, is being revitalized into a bustling retail hub. The Pennywell site, vacant for nearly two decades, is now the home of new drive-through units for popular brands like Greggs and Starbucks. This development follows earlier additions of an Aldi supermarket, a Wickes store, and a KFC restaurant. UK Land Estates, the projects driving force, has invested over ten million pounds, contributing to a larger thirty-five million pound investment drive in the North East. This transformation not only brings new retail facilities but also creates jobs, marking a significant turning point for the city.
