There is now more time for applicants to state their case to win a retail unit in one of the country's most successful shopping centres with entries being accepted up to September 1.
The Made in Yorkshire competition has seen the YEP team up with Trinity Leeds to offer one lucky winner the chance to take over a shop unit free of charge for six months.
It is a first for the shopping centre and an incredible opportunity for a local business to take the next step up the retail ladder and boost its brand and customer base by hosting the pop-up shop between October 1 2020 to March 31 2021.
David Maddison, the centre director at Trinity Leeds.
