St George’s Flex. New Pod Space for Hire Coming Soon
Posted on 28th March 2025
A new way to grow your business in the heart of Gravesend
St George’s Shopping Centre is set to welcome something new this spring - St George’s Flex, a dedicated retail space offering short-term trading opportunities for local businesses. With four purpose-built pods being introduced, this initiative is all about helping small brands grow, connect with local customers and trade in a busy town centre environment - without the pressure of a long-term lease.
Flexible Retail Space Designed for Local Businesses
St George’s Flex gives local businesses the chance to pop up in the centre for just one day or up to four weeks. Whether you’re looking to trial a new product, reach new customers or simply boost your visibility, this is a great way to be part of a high-footfall shopping destination.
Pod hire options:
Minimum rental: 1 day (9am – 9pm)
Maximum rental: 4 weeks (7 days a week)
Competitive daily rates
Weekend bundles available (Friday to Sunday)
From handmade crafts and boutique fashion to homeware and personal services, a wide range of businesses will be welcomed into the space.
*Please note – unfortunately we are unable to accept applications from food vendors that require on-site preparation.

The pods are currently in production and we’re now sharing behind-the-scenes photos and design previews so you can visualise how your business might look in the space.
Installation is planned for early May, with the pods opening for bookings and trading shortly after.
