Cumbernauld dominates its catchment with the nearest
competing centres being Glasgow (20-minute drive), Falkirk
(20-minute drive), and Stirling (22-minute drive). The local
population relies heavily on Cumbernauld town centre to meet
their convenience and comparison goods retail needs.
Cumbernauld’s retail provision is concentrated within the
town centre which almost entirely comprises a series of three
covered, interconnected schemes built in phases from the
1960s with the Antonine Centre the most recently completed
in 2007.
Cumbernauld has a total retail floor space of circa
560,000sqft (46,321 sqm²) of which the Antonine Centre
is the dominant scheme comprising circa 200,872sqft
(18,661m²). Given the more dated nature and age of the
Centre Cumbernauld, the Antonine acts not only as a retail
destination but also as a community hub in the absence of a
traditional high street.
The Centre Cumbernauld is an amalgam of Cumbernauld
Town Centre, the original 1960s scheme and the newer
Phase IV built circa 1980. The original town centre scheme
comprises approximately 155,000sqft of retail accommodation
with additional office space. It is anchored by Iceland with
other notable occupiers including TSB Bank, Royal Bank
of Scotland, and JD Gyms. Phase IV comprises 142,550sqft
(13,243 sqm²) of retail accommodation. Phase IV is anchored
by Home Bargains, Argos and New Look with other
key national multiple retailers including Poundland, JD
Wetherspoon, Santander, Vodafone, and Savers.
Foodstore provision in Cumbernauld is dominated by two
large supermarkets, both of which are located within the
town centre, the largest of which is a 182,026sqft (16,910
sqm²) Tesco Extra, located adjacent to the Antonine Centre
on the southern side of Central Way. At the eastern end of
Central Way there is a 121,782sqft (11,314 sqm²) Asda.
There is a small retail park within the town centre. St Mungo’s
Road Retail Park comprising 49,796sqft (4,626m²) is home to
B&M. There are two out of town retail parks. Westway Retail
Park, comprising 133,955sqft (12,445m²), is located 2.5miles
to the north-east of the town centre on the M80 and has
occupiers including Currys, Halfords, B&Q, Pets at Home
and Carpetright. The recently developed Cumbernauld
Retail Park, in Westfield Road, comprises circa 90,000sqft
(8,361m²) and has tenants including M&S Foods, Aldi, Food
Warehouse, Matalan and Home Bargains.
