The expected opening date of two big names joining the Oracle has been revealed.

Hollywood Bowl and TK Maxx are set to join Reading's shopping centre, with plans having recently been submitted for them to move into the former House of Fraser store which closed in October.

According to the plans Hollywood Bowl will occupy the Riverside level of the former House of Fraser unit, which will be divided into three after the shopping centre’s owners Hammerson won approval for division plans in September.

Meanwhile, TK Maxx will be opening at the lower ground level next to H&M and Bakers + Baristas cafe.

Hammerson has now announced the official signing of Hollywood Bowl and TK Maxx, as part of the repositioning of The Oracle in Reading town centre.

The two are earmarked to open in summer 2025.

Harry Badham, Chief Development and Asset Repositioning Officer, at Hammerson, said: “Across our portfolio, we are laser-focused on enhancing our brilliant destinations so that they stay exciting and relevant to all our stakeholders.

“Reading has one of the youngest populations in the UK, with over 20,000 students, so we welcome both Hollywood Bowl and TK Maxx which will significantly enhance The Oracle's current proposition.

“Reading is undergoing an ambitious redevelopment programme, and we are excited to be playing our part. The diversification of our occupier mix will complement our future plans for new homes,  flexible workspace and an improved public realm.”
