Background
Hilco Streambank is seeking offers to acquire the “Intu” brand and related intellectual property assets.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire the iconic brand behind a former retail property giant.
Intu formerly owned, developed and managed many of the most popular shopping centres in some of the strongest footfall locations in the UK. As such, the Intu brand is synonymous with UK retail and leisure and is recognised by millions of consumers across the UK. The Intu’s Group's retail property portfolio empire comprised 18 shopping centres across the UK (including
nine of the UK’s top-20). The Intu Group directly employed over 2,000 people prior to Administration and generated revenue in excess of £600m at its peak.
Each with an attractive blend of top brands, a variety of trendy restaurants and a range of exciting leisure events, Intu shopping centres attracted c. 400 million shoppers per year resulting in a high level of brand awareness. Rising to the challenge
of a shifting retail landscape, Intu also launched the UK's first online shopping centre and a buyer can capitalise on established high-traffic domain names which form part of this acquisition opportunity.
