INCUBATING THE HIGH STREET

We see The Foundry being an incubator for the high street, offering local businesses and the community a space to collaborate and feel safe.

LOCATION PLAN

CLICK TO LOAD MAP

St Helens is perfectly positioned between major North-West hubs. The Foundry acts as a cultural anchor with unprecedented access to massive footfall.

KEY POPULATION

183,200

ST HELENS METROPOLITAN BOROUGH

A surging local community hungry for independent creativity, world-class street food, and authentic nightlife.

DRIVE-TIME REACH

2.5M+

WITHIN 30 MINUTE DRIVE

Immediate access to the M6 and M62 provides an immense catchment area across the Liverpool and Manchester corridor.

FULL-TIME CONTAINER SPOTS

Our initial layout (Units 1-5) includes titans like GoLocal, Foundry Bar, The Midway and Foundry Fries. By dropping your concept into the remaining spaces (Unit 6 / Unit 7), you immediately surround your brand with high-voltage events and a massive daily crowd.

PHASE 2 (JULY) SCALE UP

Phase 2 expands to 3,000 capacity. We are taking inquiries for specific Phase 2 plots including the Fitness Studio, Hair & Beauty Studio, and single retail community store.

MEGA-EVENT EXTERNAL CATERERS

Our colossal event schedule will host over 50 max-capacity event days in the first half of 2026 alone. On these hyper-event days, we open up 10-12 spots specifically for external caterers to handle the incredible volume, totally separate from our full-time container offerings.
