Retail

Retail is a key sector and a significant employer in Carlisle with 11.8% of the working age population employed in this sector, equating to 305 businesses and 6,437 people. Carlisle’s role as a regional shopping destination is significant for the local economy. Studies of retail catchments indicate that the non-food catchment area of Carlisle contains a resident population of over 300,000 extending across the Scottish Border, Penrith and West Cumbria. These patterns suggest that Carlisle has a significant impact on the economies of neighbouring territories and that the economy of the city is sustained by a wide catchment.

The recent arrival of a number of national high street names has contributed to enhanced footfall within the City Centre.
