Councillor Jonathan Pryor, Leeds City Council’s deputy leader, said: “Every person heading to STACK Leeds will also be a potential shopper, whether that’s on the day or during a return visit.
“It is this kind of new custom – combined with the much-appreciated support of existing shoppers – that will help the site’s many and varied businesses prosper for years to come.”
Further STACK venues opened in 2024 in Lincoln, Middlesbrough and at Newcastle United’s St James’ Park ground.
Neill Winch, STACK’s chief executive officer, said: “While STACK continues to grow across the UK, our focus remains on creating spaces that celebrate local culture, support independent businesses and provide somewhere people can come together to enjoy great food, drink and live entertainment.”
He added: “Our offer will complement the fantastic outdoor and indoor market by attracting a new audience and, by opening seven days a week from early morning until late, we’ll help drive footfall and support the market’s wider ecosystem.”
