The town has a weighted retail catchment in excess of 70,000 people and a greater district catchment in excess of 108,000 being one of South Cumbria’s main retail destinations.

The A590 also routes to the northeast meeting Dalton-in-Furness, circa 2 miles away and continues on to Ulverston, 7 miles away and then into the southern boundaries of the Lake District National Park, around 11 miles to the north.
