Businesses at the Ribble building end of Lord Street are flourishing.
Some established favourites that have been in the area for many years, such as Cleveland Cafe, Kalash Divine Indian, Boulevard West and Anytime Fitness, are now being joined by some exciting new independents such as Fenney Kay, Royale’s and Dental Arts @ 23 Lord Street.
Further investment is pouring in too with the former Garrick Theatre / Mecca Bingo building being bought last month, while Wetherspoon is converting the former Pavilion Buildings into the town’s first Wetherspoon Hotel.
Business owners in the area are now asking for support as they seek to brand themselves as Southport’s new ‘Western Quarter’.
The Fennee Kay Hair & Beauty Salon is among new ventures in the Western Quarter, having opened at 17 Lord Street on 8th April this year.
Owners Chris Hesketh and Sarah Fenney are among those keen to raise the area’s profile.

Chris Hesketh said: “We opened up in April after lockdown. It was a risk with the way things have been but we had to believe in our ability.
“We have a town centre salon and we are priced affordably, with 20 years of experience.
“Southport BID came out to tell us their plans and to offer us their support in improving the area and to help us to build.
“They are pushing through loads of ideas to support all of the businesses in our area and with this it will create footfall for us all.
“We feel that us and our neighbours are making this end of Lord Street a lot better, with the other businesses around us now opening and trying to be successful, with all of us signing long term leases.
“The other end of Lord Street has been named ‘The Northern Quarter’.
“We see ourselves as the Western Quarter of Lord Street with it being Lord Street West.”
Sarah Fenney said: “We couldn’t ask for a nicer community to be in. We have made new friends with most of the business owners here.
“We try to support one another and we have a great little family kind of community here now.
“From Paul and Jeanne at Cleveland’s Cafe who cook for us regularly to Chris the dental technician next door, Roy and Brian at the lovely bars to the Indian restaurant Kalash at the end where the food is fantastic.
“We’re all friends along here and we want to be here for the long term.”

Paul and Jeanne McDonald have enjoyed owning the famous Cleveland Cafe for over two decades. The couple have been delighted to welcome some great new businesses to the area.
They said: “Here at Cleveland Cafe we will have been here for 21 years in February.
“The cafe is very popular with locals and visitors to Southport. And now with the new businesses that have opened here, we are in a full row of shops on the western side of Lord Street.
“There are two great wine bars, the best Indian restaurant in Southport, and a very good hairdresser’s.”

Brian Ainscough, who owns the Boulevard West bar at 7-11 Lord Street, said: “Boulevard West has been operating for seven and a half years at the start of the Lord Street boulevard.
“We have built up a regular clientele from the ground up and we currently are rated number two in the nightlife category on TripAdvisor. We also have great feedback on Google and elsewhere too.
“Boulevard West stocks a selection of quality beers, wines and spirits with particular brands not available anywhere else in the town.
“Boulevard West is a small independently funded start-up that has grown over the last seven years.”

Royale’s bar opened next door to Boulevard West earlier this year, creating new jobs and creating new live music nights. A giant guitar hangs on the wall inside the premises.
Royales owner Roy Carnall said: “I have Royales Bar with live music and a great family and friendly atmosphere.
“I am also now selling Christmas Trees from 15 Lord Street and early in the new year I will be selling second hand things from our flats for the charity that I am an Ambassador for (Children’s Charity Merseyside).
“Then once these products have been sold the shop will become Jessie’s Crafts, named after my late mother. This will mean that my mother’s and father’s names are side by side again, Roy also being my father.”

Another new business owner in the Western Quarter is Alex Ivanoff, a former Royal Marine who now owns Anytime Fitness Southport is under new ownership and management.
The 24-hour gym is situated in the Ribble Buildings, on Garrick Parade (just off Lord Street), close to the entrance of Morrisons supermarket.
Alex has been the owner of Anytime Fitness Maghull for the past three years.
Alex served in the Royal Marines, spending nine years in places including Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. He then worked in the Middle East as a close protection bodyguard protecting American diplomats. He also guarded key military personnel during conflict with Somali pirates in east Africa.
Alex opened his first Anytime Fitness gym in Maghull in 2018, with the aim of creating “a true community spirit”.
He said: “I’ve taken new management in Southport due to the owners seeking my help to inject some of the success we have enjoyed in Maghull.
“We are Southport’s only 24-hour club with state-of-the-art equipment and now a fantastic and approachable team whose main aim is to assist our members and the wider community of Southport to achieve their fitness goals both physical and mental.”

The owners are hoping that the substantial investment being made in the area will help their cause, to add to major businesses already in the area including Morrisons supermarket, Travelodge Hotel; and B&M Bargains.
This part of Lord Street has struggled in recent years, suffering a number of empty units, at a time when the Northern Quarter of Lord Street has enjoyed a resurgence as a venue for top quality restaurants, bars and hotels, led by Mikhail Hotel & Leisure.
The firm owns The Bold Hotel, Lord Street Hotel and Punch Tarmey’s pub, and has recently announced plans to transform the former Grand Casino building into an exclusive wedding and hotel venue.
Investment is now being made at the opposite end of Lord Street too.

The most significant is the sale of the former Garrick Theatre building, built in Art Deco style in 1932 and one of Southport’s major landmarks.
The site has been empty since Mecca Bingo announced in April that they would not be reopening their doors after being closed for a number of months during lockdown.
After the closure it faced an uncertain future and was put up for sale with independent property consultancy Allsop.
Allsop placed a guide price of between £700,00 and £750,000 on the building, and was due to place it in an auction earlier this month.
But the firm said it was “inundated” with offers, with one of them accepted by the owner leading to its subsequent removal from the auction list.
It is not yet known what the new owner’s ambitions for the building are.

Plans have been revealed for a brand new Wetherspoon hotel in Southport town centre, with building work currently taking place.
The hotel would be created in the historic four-storey Pavilion Buildings on the corner of Lord Street and Coronation Walk, above the existing Wetherspoon Sir Henry Segrave pub, and next door to B&M Bargains.
The new investment follows the Government commitment of £38.5million in Town Deal funding for Southport earlier this year, which is predicted to trigger a further £400million of private investment, and has led to “renewed investor confidence in the town”.
In his report to Cabinet, Sefton Council Executive Director of Corporate Resources and Customer Services Stephan Van Arendsen said: “Conversion of the upper floors to the Pavilion Buildings to provide hotel accommodation ties in with and supports the wider regeneration aims of the successful Town Deal bid.
“The use of the upper floors of Pavilion Buildings for hotel bed spaces would support this end of Lord Street, would help to consolidate a successful business and contribute to wider vitality and viability of the town centre, particularly the leisure and night time economies.
“Bringing into use the upper floors of premises for complementary and productive uses is a key priority within the Local Plan and is one of the main objectives of the Southport Townscape Heritage Project.
“The council’s successful application for Town Deal funding predicted that over £400m of private sector investment would be triggered by the Town Deal and Council project.
“This commitment by the tenant underlines the renewed investor confidence in the town.”
