Lakeside shares surge 10.22% after-hours as Bershka announces 12,500 sq ft store opening at Lakeside Shopping Centre in mid-2026.

Lakeside surged 10.22% in after-hours trading following news that Bershka, a brand under Inditex, will open a 12,500 sq ft store at the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex by mid-2026. The expansion, part of Inditex’s strategy to strengthen its UK presence, adds to recent leasing successes like Reiss and Charles Tyrwhitt. This development is expected to enhance the mall’s appeal as a premier retail destination, supporting its ongoing multi-million-pound investment program. Other news, including a church defacement case and police dispersal orders, were deemed less material to the stock’s performance.
