Located to the south east of Manchester, Macclesfield is an affluent Cheshire town with a population of just over 150,000. The M6, M60 and M56 motorways are all within easy driving distance and the town is close to a number of wealthy villages such as Alderley Edge, Bramhall, Poynton, Prestbury and Hale.

Lyme Green Retail Park is an established out of town retail destination situated on the southern fringe of Macclesfield. It forms part of a busy mixed use development accessed from the A523 and has a number of popular retail brands in its current line-up, including Next, Currys, Pets at Home, Harveys, Carpetright, Matalan and Poundstretcher. The retail park also has the attraction of a Superbowl UK, a Burger King and an adjacent business park as well as a strong automotive draw with Mercedes, Audi, Vauxhall and Volkswagen dealerships on site.

The Lyme Green Retail Park catchment has a total population of 270,000 and is dominated by affluent ACORN groups, serving the surrounding towns of Leek, Buxton, Whaley Bridge, Congleton and Holmes Chapel in addition to those mentioned above.
