Queensgate announces opening of Seoul Plaza

Queensgate Peterborough has announced that Seoul Plaza, the Korean-inspired grocery retailer, has opened its first location in the city, further diversifying the centre’s vibrant tenant mix.

The new 4,099 sq ft store, located in the Lower Mall, offers a vibrant selection of supermarket-style groceries, snacks, and ready-to-eat meals. As the leading importer of Korean food in the UK, Seoul Plaza also offers an extensive range of Japanese, Chinese and Thai products, combining high-quality, authentic flavours with convenience.

The Seoul Plaza concept includes its highly popular hot food counter, offering popular Korean staples including bibimbap, Korean fried chicken (yangnyeom) and bulgogi, with seasonal menus of authentic street food favourites.

Ed Ginn, Director of Investment Management at Invesco Real Estate, said: “Seoul Plaza’s opening is another exciting step in Queensgate’s evolution, bringing a unique grocery and food-to-go offer that enhances the centre’s appeal to both local shoppers and visitors. Following the strong leasing momentum across last year, this is a fantastic way to kick off 2026, and reinforces the continued confidence of aspirational and multi-purpose brands in Queensgate.”

Dan Suh, Managing Director at Korea Foods Company, added: “Queensgate is the perfect setting for Seoul Plaza to make its Peterborough debut, connecting shoppers to authentic Korean food and culture. From everyday essentials to ready-to-eat favourites, the store makes authentic flavours accessible and convenient. Expanding our presence in high-footfall destinations such as Queensgate supports our strategy to reach broader and more diverse audiences.”
