Bigger and Better: JD opens upsized store at Gallions Reach 


JD opened the doors to its brand-new upsized store at Gallions Reach Shopping Park, Beckton, at 9 am today, Thursday 10 July. The new store combines three former units, doubling its previous retail footprint and showcasing the brand’s signature retail experience, featuring leading sportswear brands. 

The expansive layout now includes dedicated zones for core sportswear, outdoor apparel, fashion, and street style collections. Customers will find exclusive collaborations with major brands such as Nike, Adidas, and North Face, adding to the store’s premium offering. 

Shoppers can expect a spacious retail experience with clearly defined sections for womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear, alongside convenient in-store click-and-collect services. 

On Saturday, customers are invited to join the official store launch celebrations with a live DJ, exclusive product drops, and interactive experiences. 

James Air, Director, Head of Group Acquisitions at JD said:“We are pleased to open our brand-new larger format store at Gallions Reach. This larger space will offer a far superior product range and demonstrates our continued commitment to this strong retail destination.” 

Andy Pay, Centre Manager, said: “JD’s new store is fantastic news for Gallions Reach. Alongside recent arrivals like Matalan and Greggs, it highlights the Park’s growing appeal and reinforces our position as a leading retail and leisure destination for our catchment. We’ve already seen a great start to 2025 and look forward to offering our customers even more choice and exciting experiences in the coming months.” 

These recent openings coincide with significant investment in our customer facilities at Gallions Reach. This includes a stylish, modern refurbishment of the toilet areas, featuring contemporary and energy-efficient fittings and  new seating in the Promotions and Events Space.  In addition work is currently underway to install EV charging facilities which are expected to be operational after the summer, further enhancing the overall visitor experience.
